What is Title I? Title I, is the cornerstone of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) , previously known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), and is the largest federal education program. The intent of Title I is to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach proficiency on challenging State academic content and performance standards. 

Title I - Continued Title I provides federal funding for high-poverty schools to help students who are behind academically and at risk of falling behind.  David Cox Road Elementary receives funding as a result of having greater than 65% of our students qualifying for Free/Reduced price lunch.

Title I Continued Title I schools must conduct a comprehensive needs assessment, identify and commit to specific goals and strategies that address those needs, create a comprehensive plan (SIP), and conduct an annual review of the effectiveness of the school-wide program that is revised as needed.
