Federal Programs
Every Student Succeeds Act
The Houston County School System receives federal funding to implement programs under the "Every Student Succeeds Act." The primary objective of these Federal Programs is to enhance student achievement by increasing parental involvement, providing teacher training, and offering additional student services.
What is Title I?
Title I, part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, represents the largest federal investment in K-12 education. It includes various funding streams for school districts and schools to enhance local educational programs, ensuring that economically disadvantaged students have equal opportunities to meet state-defined academic standards.
In return for this financial support, schools, districts, and states are accountable for improving the academic performance of all students, closing the achievement gap between underperforming groups and their more advantaged peers, and helping those at the greatest risk reach state academic standards.
Title I aims to provide a high-quality education for every child and offer additional assistance to those who need it most—specifically, children who are farthest from meeting state standards. Title I resources are allocated to schools with high percentages of at-risk students.
