The purpose of Title I, Part A is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.
Perkins V: Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century
The purpose of the Carl D. Perkins grant program is to develop more fully the academic knowledge, technical, and employability skills of secondary education students who enroll in CTE programs and programs of study. The district is in a Shared Service Agreement with ESC Region 2.
Title II, Part A: Supporting Effective Instruction
Title II, Part A funds are designed to increase student achievement through improving teacher and principal capacity. These funds are also utilized to support professional development to help improve teaching, learning and supervision. The intent of the funding is to support educators in their work to improve the overall quality of instruction and ensure equity of educational opportunity for all students.
Title IV, Part A: Student Support and Academic Enrichment
The overarching goal of Title IV, Part A, is to increase the capacity of state education agencies, local education agencies, campuses, and communities to meet the following three goals:
1. provide all students access to a well-rounded education;
2. improve academic outcomes by maintaining safe and healthy students; and,
3. improve the use of technology to advance student academic achievement.
Title V, Part A: Small, Rural School Achievement Program
