Title I

Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary School is a Title I School.

What is Title I?

Title I is a federal program authorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA) that provides additional funding to schools, enabling them to better support students from families living in communities with greater economic needs. All4Ed.org created a succinct summary of Title I nationally. Each year, Arlington Public Schools (APS) identifies Title I schools based on federal guidelines and available funding. It makes two determinations: which APS schools are eligible, and which will participate.

Our next Title I Annual School-Family Partnership Meeting date is scheduled for Thursday, December 18, 2025.

The virtual meeting will be held via MS Teams from 6:30pm to 7:15pm. Join the meeting using this link. Each year we review our School-Family Partnership Principles. We invite you to review online and provide any input you have over the next 2 weeks before the meeting by emailing [email protected] and using Family Partnership for the subject line. View the Drew School-Family Partnership Principles
