Title I, Section 1003(a)

The purpose of this funding is to improve high poverty Title I schools (50% or more poverty) through schoolwide reform. A statewide system of intensive and sustained support and improvement is provided through regional school support teams of peer practitioners, distinguished schools and distinguished educators.

A portion of the Title I allocation (as required by federal legislation) is set aside for this purpose in order to increase the opportunity for all students in such schools to meet New York State's high content and student performance standards.

Legislation requires that assistance must first be provided to eligible Title I schools (50% or more poverty) planning for schoolwide programs or presently implementing schoolwide programs; and if funds are available, services may be provided to high poverty Title I schools in need of improvement.
