If I remember my algebraic geometry correctly, this should not hold in general, however, it holds precisely if $\mathcal{I}$ corresponds to a closed embedding of another scheme. Vakil has in his notes beautiful examples and exercises about precisely this subtlety, which I can only recommend: http://math.stanford.edu/~vakil/216blog/FOAGjun1113public.pdf
