education grants
In North Carolina, education matters. It's evidenced through grants, resources, and a funding focus that concentrates on building and supporting diversity, educating every child, and developing programs to their fullest. Programs involve schools in academics, the environment, and history through state and foundation funding.
Title I - NCLB
Title I funds come from the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Title I funding is one of the largest pools of federal education money for school districts across the country. In exchange for these funds, schools are held accountable for Adequate Yearly Progress, providing teachers with professional development, reporting state report card results for individual schools, and for involving parents in the education of their child. Districts who qualify for Title I funds must meet a poverty criteria, usually established by the number of students who receive free or reduced lunch.
