  10. Title I is the largest source of federal education funding, providing over $14 billion to schools with high numbers or percentages of children living in poverty. • All of our schools K-8 are considered Title I schools • As long as the funds are used to help students meet state academic standards in reading and math Funding for software program-TITLE I

  20. I feel that this program would be very beneficial to our students and teachers. Its not often that every student can get individualized help each day. This program assist students in understanding what they are missing and how to figure it out. It builds skills and knowledge for every learner no matter what their ability level may be. Therefore, the program is tailored to each student from grades kindergarten to eighth grade. Reflection
