What is the primary goal of the SAIG program under Title I?

The primary goal of the SAIG (School Improvement Grant) program under Title I is to help improve schools with the greatest needs. This program is specifically designed to assist schools that have been identified for improvement due to chronic underperformance. The emphasis is on enhancing educational opportunities and outcomes for students who are most at risk of failing, which aligns with the overarching goals of Title I to ensure that all students have access to high-quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic status.

By focusing resources, strategies, and support on the schools that serve the highest populations of disadvantaged students, the SAIG program aims to implement effective reforms and interventions. These may include enhancements in curriculum, professional development for educators, and other targeted measures that can lead to substantial improvements in student achievement and overall school performance.
