How are Title I Funds Used?
How to use Title I funds depends on each school. Title I funds can be used to improve curriculum, instructional activities, counseling, parental involvement, and increase the number of staff. Title I funds for schoolwide programs are designed to upgrade their entire educational programs. They are for all students, particularly the lowest-achieving students.
