Title I, the largest federal eduction program, is the foundation of the Every Student Success Act of 2015.  Title I funds in Craven County are provided to schools with large numbers of economically-disadvantaged students.  Based on the needs of their student subgroups, Title I schools design instructional programs and provide student services to supplement existing programs that are financed through local, state, and federal funds.  These additional funds are used to design strategies that meet the needs of students that are most at risk for school failure.  Servicde may include implemeneting effecdtive instrutional practices, hiring school based learning system coaches, hiring teachers to reduce class size, and purchasing materials and supplies.
