TITLE I
The U.S. Department of Education makes annual appropriations of funds to state educational agencies (SEA), and states follow a formula to distribute these funds to local educational agencies (LEA).
Title I, Part A funds are primarily for school-level programming to raise the achievement of students not meeting standards in schools with high percentages of low-income children through either a Schoolwide Plan or a Targeted Assistance Program.
At East Grand Forks, we meet our students' needs through a targeted assistance program with a TIER 2 reading intervention. We aim to have 100% of our students reading at grade level.
Here is where you will find our plans for our schools.
