Title 1

  • Title 1 is a federally funded program that provides assistance for the nation's schools. Title 1 took effect July 1, 1995, and replaced what was called Chapter 1. Title 1 funds enhance the educational programs at the school and encourage parent involvement throughout the school year.

     

    The goal of Title 1 is highest student achievement for all children. In order to meet this goal, home and school partnerships are essential. Families are asked to sign a compact. A compact is a voluntary pledge or agreement among parents, students and teachers who agree to work together so that all children succeed in school.

     

    When schools work together with families to support learning, children are better prepared to succeed not just in school, but throughout life. The Florida Department of Education (FDOE) recognizes that a child's education is a responsibility shared by the school and family during the entire period the child spends in school. Although parents come to schools with diverse backgrounds, primary languages, and needs, they want their children to be successful in school. FDOE, Local Educational Agencies (LEAs), and schools, in collaboration with parents, teachers, students, and administrators, are working together to enhance parental involvement and recognize the needs of students and families in the communities they serve.
