What is Title I?

Title I is a federally funded program designed to close the achievement gap and ensure all children have an opportunity to access a high quality education. Title I federal funding is used to support and enhance the school program and provide additional academic support. For additional information, visit the HCPSS Title I Program web page.

Deep Run Elementary School is a Title I Schoolwide Program school. Title I is a federally funded program designed to close achievement gaps and ensure all children have an opportunity to access a high-quality education by providing funding for supplemental academic services and supports.  The goal of this program is to close the achievement gap for all students. Our program allows all students to be eligible for additional academic support and the funds are used to support and enhance the overall school program.  During the school year, we would welcome any feedback related to our Title I School-wide programming.  

The Federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) contains several provisions which promote a parent/school partnership through communication. One such provision gives parents of students attending Title I schools the right to ask for and receive information about the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teacher, paraprofessional, and/or long-term substitute teacher.  Please see the attached information regarding Parental Right to Know Information.
