RCSC Title I

Facts about Title I

Title I provides supplemental federal funding for low achieving children.
Title I helps our schools by supplementing the regular educational programs offered at our schools to help students meet State standards.
Rensselaer Central Primary School and Van Rensselaer are schoolwide Title I schools. A schoolwide school enhances the whole educational program within a school to meet the needs of the lowest achieving students. Students who are at risk of not meeting the State standards are targeted.
Presently our schools are offering Supplemental Educational Services (SES). A child is eligible for SES services, if he/she receives free or reduced lunch and is non-proficient in Reading/Language Arts and/or Math.
