Title I
Federal Assistance Program for Schools
Overview
Title I is the largest federal assistance program designed to ensure every child receives a high-quality education. These programs often feature smaller class sizes, additional teachers and assistants, enhanced training for school staff, extra instructional time, diverse teaching methods and materials, and counseling and mentoring services. Calhoun Primary is proud to be recognized as a Georgia Title I Distinguished School.
Calhoun City Schools values the input of our community and is dedicated to providing a high-quality education to all students. Your participation and feedback are vital to our continued success.
For additional information, please visit our Federal Programs Page. Regardless of the format, we encourage all school stakeholders to learn more about Title I programs and take advantage of the opportunities they offer our school.
