The purpose of Title I, Part A is to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards, regardless of economic status.

•    State Assessment Grants
•    Education of Migrant Children
•    Prevention & Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk
