Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to states and school districts to meet the needs of academically at-risk students. The goal of Title I is to provide extra instructional services and activities that support students identified as failing or most at risk of failing the state’s challenging performance standards in mathematics, reading, and writing.
St. George Academy is eligible for Title 1 Funding, which includes fee waivers for families who qualify. To determine eligibility for various other state and federal program benefits that St. George Academy may qualify for, please complete, sign, and return this form to the office.

First, the federal government provides funding to each state. Then, each State Educational Agency sends money to its school districts. The amount of money each school receives is determined by the number of low-income students attending that school.
Finally, Title I schools: Identify the students at their school who need the most educational assistance based on the criteria that school has chosen, set goals for improving the skills of academically at-risk students at their school, measure student progress to determine the success of the Title I program for each student, and develop programs for each individual student in order to support/supplement regular classroom instruction. Students do NOT have to be from low-income families to receive Title I services.
