According to the U.S. Department of Education (2018) the purpose of Title 1 funding, "provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. Federal funds are currently allocated through four statutory formulas that are based primarily on census poverty estimates and the cost of education in each state ."

McClure (2008) states that "Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 requires that schools receiving funds under Title I be comparable in services to schools that do not receive Title I funds. The public policy purpose: To ensure federal financial aid is spent on top of state and local funds to which all public school children are entitled. Title I was one of five titles in the legislation, which was introduced in Congress on January 12, 1965, and was passed by Congress on April 9, 1965."

What is the definition of the term "supplement, not supplant"?

# data[].attributes.body
Supplement (2019) states "The term “supplement, not supplant” is a provision common to many federal statutes authorizing education grant programs. There is no single SNS provision. Rather, the wording of the provision varies depending on the various statutes. In order to be in compliance with each program’s version of the SNS requirements, LEAs must be cognizant of how the provision is applied in each specific program."
