TITLE I Federal funds provided under Title I of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act are allocated to provide supplementary basic skill services to our designated Title I schools . Eligibility for Title I funds is not determined for schools per se , but rather for school attendance areas , thus making children attending private schools residing in Title I attendance areas eligible for services . Enfield ’ s Title I program provides academic support at the elementary level . For purposes of determining Title I eligible attendance areas , “ low-income children ” are defined as children in families receiving payments under Temporary Assistance to Needy Families ( TANF ).
If the percentage of “ low-income children ” residing in an attendance area is equal to , or greater than , the percentage of “ low-income children ” in the school district as a whole , the school servicing that attendance area becomes a designated Title I school . As a designated Title I school , all children are eligible to receive program services provided under Title I .
