Title I
Lakes and Bridges Charter School has been designated as a Title I Targeted Assistance School.
What is a Title I Targeted Assistance School?
Title I Targeted Assistance in South Carolina public schools is a federal program that provides extra help to students who are failing or at the highest risk of failing to meet state academic standards. It offers these services to specific children within a school, unlike a "schoolwide" program that serves all students in high-poverty schools. Funding is used for things like enriched educational programs, upgrading instruction, and family engagement to support these struggling students.
Key features of Targeted Assistance
- Targeted students: Services are provided to individual students who are identified as failing or most at-risk of failing, based on objective criteria. This can include students who are economically disadvantaged, have disabilities, or are English learners.
- Purpose: The goal is to help disadvantaged children meet challenging state academic standards.
- Use of funds: Funds are used to provide instructional services and special programs to these identified students. This can include:
-
- Enriched and accelerated educational programs
- Upgrading the quality of instruction
- Professional development for teachers
- Opportunities for parents to participate in their children's education
- Identification criteria: Schools use multiple, objective, educationally-related criteria to identify students who need assistance, which can be supplemented by the school.
