This publication prepared by the Bureau of Title 1, Elementary Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended, serves as a reference source of representative Title 1 ESEA programs designed to meet the special educational needs of disadvantaged children. It is the latest Directory of Title 1, ESEA Programs 1973-1974 and, when used in conjunction with other brochures distributed by the Office of Funded Programs, gives an overview of funded projects in New York City during the past school year. This 1973-74 compendium, provides profiles of Title 1 central and district programs to share with the reader the efforts being made by neighboring school districts. In recent years the federal government has played an increasingly important role in supporting programs under Title 1 to meet the needs of economically- and educationally-disadvantaged children. In 1965, New York City received a basic allocation of 65,133,281; for the 1973-74 school year this basic allocation has increased to $154,351,189. This increase in federal support serves to dramatize the emergence of a three-way partnership involving the federal government, the state, and the city to aid in resolving the staggering problems affecting the education of children in New York City schools.
