What is Title I

Title I is a federally funded program that is one component of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015.  The Weldon City Schools' Federal Programs Department provides financial assistance and program support  to qualifying schools with high numbers of children from low-income families. 

All Title I eligible schools in WCS operate under the schoolwide model.  All of Weldon City Schools qualify for Schoolwide Title I Services.  Title I funds may be used, along with other school funding sources, to provide resources and instructional support to help all children meet challenging academic standards.

Title I/ Blended pre-kindergarten classes are designed to deliver developmentally appropriate experiences for eligible 4-year-old children to ensure successful entry into kindergarten.  The program emphasizes a child-centered environment that promotes learning through exploration and discovery.
