Title I is the nation's largest federal aid program for elementary and secondary schools. It provides money to school districts to pay for extra educational services for children who are behind in school so that they receive help to meet the challenging state standards that have been adopted for all students. Funds can be used to benefit the entire student population by upgrading the entire educational program in the school. These services must be over and above what the students would receive without the program.
