Meriwether County School System benefits from many of the educational programs funded through the federal government. This funding allows MCSS to offer additional training, instruction, technology, and other critical services which are not provided for through state and local education funds.

Title I funds are used to supplement schools/system budgets. Title I funds are not used to supplant (take the place of) local, state, or other federal funding.
