Abstract
Title I aims to tackle the academic achievement gap between disadvantaged and advantaged students via federal funding to school districts serving low-income students and to help equalize educational opportunities for students from poor households. Title I has been the largest K–12 program funded by the federal government. Yet, despite 49 years of Title I investments since 1965, persistent efforts to close the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and advantaged students have not been successful. Using existing research, we provide information on current fiscal issues that govern Title I funding to give a better understanding of challenges associated with managing Title I programs designed to close the achievement gap.
