Frequently Asked Questions – Title I Schoolwide Programs Specific to Abbott Districts IASA Project Period September 1, 2000 to August 31, 2001 (as of February 19, 2001) General Q1. What is a Title I schoolwide program?
A. The Improving America’s Schools Act (IASA), Title I, Part A defines a Title I schoolwide program as a program in a Title I-eligible school in which Title I, Part A and other federal education program funds and resources are used to upgrade the entire educational program of the school. The program purpose is to increase the academic achievement for all students in the school by allowing schools to integrate their programs, strategies and resources. Q2. How is a Title I schoolwide program different from a Title I targeted assistance program? A. A Title I targeted assistance program uses Title I, Part A funds only for the provision of supplementary educational services to eligible children who are failing, or at risk of failing, to meet state standards. In a Title I schoolwide program, a school is not required to provide supplemental services to identified children but to upgrade the entire educational program in the school.
