Title I / LAP Programs

Teacher Teach with Student
Title I Program
Title I is a remedial education program designed to help students who require some assistance in reading, math, or language arts.

Learning Assistance Program (LAP)
The LAP program provides supplemental instruction for students who need some additional help, primarily in reading and math.

A student can qualify for these programs through:

  • Measures of Academic Progress (MAP testing)
  • Teacher recommendation and/or parent input

An Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) is not required.
