Title I is federal funding for schools to help students who are falling behind academically. Funding is based on the number of students eligible for free and reduced lunch in a school. In WCPSS, elementary schools with 35 percent of their students qualifying for free and reduced lunch receive Title I monies. The funds are used to hire teachers; purchase materials and supplies; and provide family involvement activities, professional development, pre-kindergarten programs, summer school track-out academies and more. Wake County has 40 identified Title I schools providing reading and math support for students achieving below grade level expectations.
