The South Panola School District's Office of Federal Programs supports quality education, providing effective supplemental programs and services which advance federal, state, district, and school-level educational goals.
 

Title I, Part A - Improving Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged

Individual public schools with poverty rates above 40% may use Title I funds, along with other Federal, State, and local funds, to operate a "schoolwide program" to upgrade the instructional program for the whole school.  South Panola operates schoolwide programs in order to benefit a larger student population.

The purpose of these funds is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.

Title I, Part A-Basic funds generally provide for:

• smaller classes or special instructional spaces

• additional teachers and aides

• opportunities for professional development for school staff

• extra time for teaching Title I students the skills they need

• a variety of supplementary teaching methods

• additional teaching materials which supplement core instruction

• Batesville Elementary School

• Batesville Middle School

• Batesville Jr. High School
