Title I Education
Marietta City Schools Title I Programs
Purpose of Title I, Part A
Title I is a federal program that provides opportunities for the children served to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the challenging state content standards as measured by Georgia Milestones Assessment System. Title I resources are distributed to schools where the needs are the greatest. Decisions for the utilization of these funds are made at the school level by the school governance teams ensuring that parents have a voice in the way Title I funds are spent. Decision-making at the district level includes parental input by means of a Federal Programs Advisory Committee. This advisory committee is made up of parents, teachers and administrators who meet twice a year to discuss Title I programs throughout the district. All parents and community members are welcome to attend these meetings.
Title I, Part A is a part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1964 (ESEA). This act provides federal funds through the Georgia Department of Education to local educational agencies (LEAs) and public schools with high percentages of poor children to help ensure that all children meet challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards.

District Title I Schools
The Georgia waiver of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 permits intra-district school transfers from one Title I school to another within the same school district. However, because Marietta City Schools is a Charter School District, this option does not apply.
