What is Title I?
“…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, LAUSD schools must have a poverty threshold of at least 50% based on free- and reduced price meal applications and/or CalWORKS.
Schools that rank into Title I deliver supplemental services through a targeted assistance (TAS) program or a schoolwide program (SWP) model.

Who Receives Title I
Services?
Although schools are eligible for Title I
funding based on poverty, the selection
process for providing Title I services to
students is not based on low-income. It is
based entirely on academic achievement.

California Education Code 64001 requires that districts receiving state, federal and other applicable funding through the Consolidated Application (ConApp) process ensure that participating schools write a SPSA.
California Education Code 52852 requires these schools to establish a School Site Council (SSC) as the decision-making council for all programs funded through the ConApp.
The School Site Council (SSC) is responsible for developing, reviewing, and approving the SPSA with written advice from appropriate school advisory committees.
Expenses described in the SPSA must be aligned to data that will address specific needs and must be annually evaluated.
