Goal Statement:
To expand and improve the educational achievement of disadvantaged students in public and private schools.

Program Description Summary:
Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act (IASA) of 1994, authorizes supplemental funding for educational programs that are designed to benefit students from low-income families. California receives Title I grant awards from the federal government and then allocates the funds to school districts on the basis of the number of children receiving financial assistance through Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). Within our school district, schools are ranked based on the percentage of students receiving free and reduced lunch.
Title I funds are intended to provide supplementary, services which may include support personnel, instructional materials, staff development, parent education and consultant services.
Every school in Merced City School District receives Title I funds.  Private schools:  Grace Bishop, Our Lady of Mercy, Providence, and Saint Anthony have students who live within the boundaries of MCSD, and who qualify also receive Title I funds.
