Title I, Part A: Closing Educational Achievement Gaps
Title I, Part A is the oldest and largest federal education program. It is intended to ensure that all students have fair, equal, and significant opportunities to obtain a high-quality education and reach--at a minimum-- proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.
One-third of the public schools in Washington state operate Title I, Part A programs - including the Bremerton School District.
Title I, Part C: Migrant Education
The Washington State Migrant Education Program (MEP) is federally funded to ensure high-quality education programs and supplemental support services for migratory children. Migratory families often have trouble receiving continuous, high-quality educational services because of their high rate of mobility, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, health-related problems, disruption of their children’s education, and the lack of resources in the areas in which they live and work.
