Overview
Title I is a federally funded program to benefit students performing below grade level. These students must be below grade level in the subject area to qualify. The Learning Assistance Program (LAP) is a state-funded program to benefit students performing below grade level. The object of both programs is to accelerate the achievement of low performing students to grade level in reading and language arts.
