Title Programs

LGSD Title Programs

Title 1A (Improving Basic Programs) Title I-A is intended to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments. Title I-A provides flexible funding that may be used to provide additional instructional staff, professional development, extended-time programs, and other strategies for raising student achievement in high-poverty schools. The program focuses on promoting school-wide reform in high-poverty schools and ensuring students’ access to evidence-based instructional strategies and challenging academic content.

Project(s): Support School-wide plans for all elementary schools. Support includes, but is not limited to, staff, supplies, software, parent involvement nights, etc. to provide academic interventions and supports.

Title 2A (Supporting Effective Instruction) The purpose of Title II-A is to improve teacher and leader quality and focuses on preparing, training, and recruiting high-quality teachers and principals. The Title II-A program is designed, among other things, to provide students from low-income families and minority students with greater access to effective educators. In general, Title II funds can be used to provide supplemental strategies and activities that strengthen the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school leaders.

Project(s): Based on annual data and collaborative needs assessment processes within the district, we have identified six areas of support for teachers to improve outcomes for all students: Digital Instruction, Math Instructional Practices, Trauma and Social Emotional Learning Practices/Supports, Science/STEM Instructional Practices, Instructional Technology, New Teacher Mentorship, and continued support in developing high performing Professional Learning Communities.

Title 3 (English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement) A complex web of state and federal laws govern the services that public school districts must provide to students who are not proficient in English. Some of those laws are mandatory for all districts while others apply only to districts that receive certain funding. State and federal laws around services for English Learners (ELs) share the same goal - ensuring that English learners benefit from their education. All districts have a dual responsibility toward their ELs: (1) to teach the English language and (2) to have on-grade level core content accessible to ELs while they are learning English.

 

Project(s): Funds used to provide curriculum support to help meet EL student needs, and provide adult EL class for families within our district. 

Title 4 (Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants) This section provides information about how local educational agencies (LEAs) can spend funds under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) grant program under Title IV, Part A, Subpart 1. The purpose of the SSAE grant program is to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing the capacity of states, LEAs, schools, and local communities to:

  • Provide all students with access to a well-rounded education;
  • Improve school conditions for student learning; and
  • Improve the use of technology in order to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.

 Project(s): Support activities outlined in district strategic plan goals and activities.
