What Is Title 1?

Title 1 is one of the nation’s largest federal programs through which school districts receive federal funding to provide supplemental instruction for students based upon academic need. The goal is to increase performance and academic achievement in the areas of language arts and/or mathematics. Schools are identified as Title 1 based on the economic level of the families who attend. The number of students receiving free and reduced lunch qualify a school to receive Title 1 funding.

What Is The Purpose Of Title 1?

• Help every child receive a high quality education
• Build capacity for parent involvement 
• Provide professional development for building  staff

Hallsville Intermediate & Title 1

The free and reduced lunch population at Hallsville  Intermediate is greater than 40 percent, which qualifies us for school-wide Title 1 status. Funding is used to benefit ALL students in the school. Hallsville Intermediate uses Title 1 funds to purchase technology and academic resources, host parent meetings and activities, and provide collaborative planning and professional development for teachers.
