LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - Forty-seven schools within the Clark County School District will lose Title I funding for the 2023-24 school year, a representative for CCSD confirmed on Tuesday.

“As part of the annual budget process, CCSD reviews the allocation of federal Title I funding to ensure these dollars provide the greatest possible benefit to Clark County students,” a spokesperson for the district said.

Title I is a federally funded program that gives additional monies to schools with higher rates of poverty sometimes through various means, like free or reduced lunches.

For the 2023-24 school year, CCSD will allocate Title I funds to schools where 75% or more of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch as of December 2022.

The adjustment means 47 schools will be phased out of Title I funding for the upcoming school year.

“Under previous criteria, 42 schools would have been categorized as Tier II in the 2023-2024 school year. Five schools have FRL percentages that would have phased them out of the Title I criteria entirely for the 2023-24 school year,” CCSD said.
