State, Federal and Student Support Programs focuses on funding for strategies that assist students most "at-risk" of failing and/or dropping out of school. Strategies include: supporting schools in providing direct instruction and necessary support to help them stay in school and be successful, including passing state mandated tests (TAKS, RPTE, etc.); analyzing programs and data to provide the best opportunities for student success; present program ideas to help schools "close the gap" between successful students and at-risk students; and manage appropriate campus funding. Programs include: Title I, Part A (No Child Left Behind) Support Services, including English/Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies Facilitators; Migrant Services; Parent and Community Involvement Programs; Home Instruction for Parents of Pre-School Youngsters (HIPPY); Safe & Drug Free Schools & Communities; Project STOP Drug Testing Program (USDE Grant); McKinney-Vento Homeless Services (TEXSHEP Grant); Social Workers & Social Services; District Spanish Language Translation Services; Dropout Recovery/Prevention (DRPP Grant); Adult Education/ESL (EL Civics Grant); and Truancy. In addition, State Compensatory Education (SCE) is a legislatively funded program to serve most at risk of failing and/or dropping out of school. Also provided is support for campus and district compliance with policies and regulations established by federal and state law, the Texas Education Agency, the U.S. Department of Education and local board policy. |
