Grant Programs

Title I
Title I is the largest single program of federal aid for elementary and secondary education.  The MSD of Pike Township receives Title I funding to provide extra academic support and enriching learning opportunities for children to meet and exceed state and local academic standards.  Some of those supports and services include: professional development for teachers, parent meetings, before/after school tutoring, specialized teachers, instructional coaches, extended time opportunities (i.e. Summer Stretch), literacy materials, and equipment and technology.

 

Title II
The purpose of Title II is to provide supplemental activities that strengthen the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school leaders which includes:

  • Increase student achievement consistent with the challenging state academic standards;
  • Improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school leaders;
  • Increase the number of teachers, principals, and other school leaders who are effective in improving student academic achievement in schools; and
  • Provide low-income and minority students greater access to effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders.

 

Title III and NESP Grants
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), requires state education agencies to establish and implement standardized, statewide entrance and exit procedures for English Learners. English language development programs for English learners must support students to become proficient listeners, speakers, readers, and writers of English, develop high levels of academic attainment in English, and learn the same challenging State academic content and academic standards as their native English-speaking peers. Federal Title III and State Non-English Speaking Program (NESP) funds support these efforts through the use of research-based English language development programs, additional staff, professional development for teachers, supplemental learning activities for students, community participation events, and other educational materials and technology. For more information regarding services for English learner students in Pike Township, please refer to the English Language Learner link on the Curriculum & Instruction main page.
