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.
