Title I, is the largest federal aid program for public schools, funded under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to ensure all children receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education while closing academic achievement gaps. The program directs financial assistance to schools with high percentages of children from low-income families, helping them meet challenging state academic standards.

In Mesa Public Schools, Title I services support at-risk students across eligible campuses, which are selected based on poverty indicators and district-determined methodology, beginning at the preschool level. School leaders utilize these supplemental funds to implement evidence-based instructional strategies, expand intervention services, and strengthen family engagement initiatives.
