“…is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.” Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
Title I, Part A provides supplemental federal funds to help meet the educational needs of low-achieving students in the highest-poverty schools.
In order to access Title I funds, schools must have a poverty threshold of at least 40% based on free- or reduced-price meal applications.
Schools that rank into Title I deliver supplemental services through a targeted assistance (TAS) program or develop a comprehensive school-wide plan under the schoolwide program (SWP) model.

The School Site Council (SSC) is responsible for developing, reviewing, and approving the SPSA with written advice from appropriate school advisory committees.
The goals and activities described in the SPSA must be aligned to data that will address specific needs based on data and must be annually evaluated. 10 10
