  4. Two types of Title 1 programs • School-wide programsSchools with 40% or more of its children from low-income families can develop school-wide Title 1 programs to serve all students. School-wide programs can combine Title 1 funds with federal, state, and local funds to improve school programs. • Targeted assistance programsSchools with 35-39% of its children from low-income families can have a Targeted Assistance Program. These schools will work out a plan to make sure that children served by Title 1 meet KY’s achievement standards. Targeted assistance programs cannot combine federal, state, and local funds.
