Title I

Title I

Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) receives an annual allocation of federal dollars to provide supplemental resources to schools that have high percentages of children who qualify for free or reduced-priced lunch. ESSA and Florida law determine the eligibility of schools and how funds are allocated to eligible schools and programs.  Currently, 16 elementary schools, five middle schools, five special centers, one charter school, and 13 non-public schools are receiving supplemental resources through Title I, Part A.

Improving the Academic Achievement of Disadvantaged Students

Title I, Part A of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was originally written to improve educational opportunities for low-income students. The current re-authorization of the law, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), provides supplemental resources so that all students, especially those who are struggling academically, receive the supports needed to successfully learn grade-level skills.

Both federal and state laws govern eligibility to receive Title I funding and specify how the funds are allocated to eligible schools and programs. Eligible schools receive differing levels of Title I support based on the percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school. In the 2025-2026 school year, 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three special centers, one charter school, and 14 non-public schools in Seminole County will receive supplemental resources through Title I, Part A.

ESSA includes provisions that broaden the definitions of educational excellence, while maintaining critical civil rights for all students. In addition, ESSA includes provisions designed to focus on providing students the diverse, integrated curriculum and learning experiences necessary for a well-rounded education. Title I, Part A of ESSA is designed to provide all children a significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.
