Title I

What is Title I?

Title I is a federally funded grant designed to help schools meet the needs of all students and to provide resources to help improve educational success for families.

Every school that receives Title I funds has a Family-School Compact and a Parent and Family Engagement School Policy. Schools that receive Title I funds also host events to provide family engagement and involvement opportunities.

More information on the Title I program can be found on the PWCS Title I webpage.
