Title I funds are allocated by districts to schools based on numbers of low-income students according to free/reduced price meals and/or CalWorks (formerly known as Aid to Families with Dependent Children).

Title I is a federal program under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) that provides funds to high poverty schools to assist students in attaining proficiency on state academic standards/assessments. Elk Grove Unified School District supports many important strategies for student success with Title I funds, including preschool, after school instruction, academic intervention, professional development, parent involvement and education, and the homeless student program.
