About Title I, Part A

About the Title I Program

Title I, Part A is a federal program that provides financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high numbers or high percentages of children living in low-income households to help ensure that all students meet challenging state academic standards. Title I, Part A is a formula grants program to help students in meeting the challenging state academic standards and closing the educational access and opportunity gap.

Title I, Part A provides additional instructional services and activities. These might include:

  • Teaching materials which supplement a student’s regular instruction
  • Teachers and instructional aides
  • One-to-one or small group instruction
  • Extra learning supports

Parent and Family Engagement

We know that family involvement in a child’s education is a greater predictor of academic success than family income. That’s why Title I, Part A program regulations insist on robust family involvement activities at every school where these federal funds support effective teaching and engaged learning.

You can help in the success of your child by becoming an active participant in your student’s education:

  • Communicate: Staying informed and responding promptly to all communications from the school or the school district.
  • Be an example: Showing your child that education is important by reading, attending parent/ teacher conferences, and attending “open houses.”
  • Volunteer: Volunteering at your child’s school and helping with extra-curricular activities. Participate and support parent involvement activities at school.
  • Learn: How to help your child with classwork, homework, and future education plans.
  • Get involved: Joining school/parent organizations, school improvement teams, Title I, Part A parent advisory councils, and other parent committees.
  • Collaborate with the community: Participating in parent activities with other families, know and use local community resources, such as libraries, universities, community centers, etc., to increase skills and talents to obtain needed services for your child.

Mukilteo uses Title I funds to support education in grades K-5. Nine of our thirteen elementary schools qualify for and receive schoolwide Title services. Schoolwide services means that every student and family at the school can receive support provided from Title funded programs. The list below shows the schools who receive Title I funds.
