Title I is a federally funded program. The purpose of this legislation is "to provide all children significant opportunities to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps."

Title I maintains a staff at each school, which includes at least a Title I reading instructional coach/coaches. Additional staff members, including Title I math instructional coach/coaches, may also provide support, depending on the needs of the school. As part of a divisionwide initiative, Title I math and reading instructional coach/coaches focus on coaching to improve instruction in all classrooms in the school. In an effort to close the achievement gap, Title I provides additional support, such as small-group remediation and supplemental programming. HCPS family advocates are also staff members at Title I schools. They provide programming and support to families to ensure they can participate and engage in school programming. All staff members can be reached by contacting the schools directly.

Title I provides funding for the following:

• Instructional Reading and Math Coaches

• Family Engagement Opportunities & Materials

• Professional Development for Instructional Staff

• Take Home Libraries

• Instructional Materials 

• Summer Programs

• Tutoring
