What is Title I?
Title I, Part A
Title I, Part A of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was originally written to improve educational opportunities for low-income students. The current re-authorization of the law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, provides supplemental resources so that all students, especially those who are struggling academically, receive the supports needed to successfully learn grade-level skills.
Both federal and state laws govern eligibility to receive Title I funding and specify how the funds are allocated to eligible schools and programs. Eligible schools receive differing levels of Title I support based on the percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school. In the 2025-2026 school year, 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three special centers, one charter school, and 14 non-public schools in Seminole County will receive supplemental resources through Title I, Part A.

- Information on assessments required by the state or district, including subject/purpose of each assessment, source of the requirement, and where possible, the time needed to complete the assessment and when/how results will be made available to parents
- Information about state and district policies pertaining to participating in required assessments
- Timely notification if their child is identified as an “English Learner” and is eligible to participate, or is participating, in a language instruction program, along with detailed information about the program and related parents’ rights.
Parents of students attending a Title I school may request to know:
