TITLE I
Carthage Elementary School is a Title I School
Title I is the largest federally funded educational program. The purpose of the program is to provide supplemental funds to school districts, which then support and assist schools with large concentrations of low- income students to help meet the state’s challenging content and performance standards. A school must have a poverty level of 40% or higher to receive federal funds. At CES, we use federal funds to benefit all students. The funds are used to purchase supplemental classroom materials, intervention materials, and computer programs. Title I funds can also be used to purchase technology and equipment. Title funds also provide additional professional development opportunities for educators and support Family Involvement activities.
