Targeted Assistance Program
Targeted Assistance Program
A Targeted Assistance Program is a specific model for utilizing Title I funds in schools that do not operate a schoolwide program. In a targeted assistance program, the school identifies specific students who are failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the state's challenging academic achievement standards and provides them with supplemental services and supports funded by Title I. Children with disabilities, children who are homeless, children who are neglected or delinquent, and children with limited English proficiency, may be eligible to receive Title I services. Title I funds are supplemental to services that would otherwise be provided and are used to benefit only the intended beneficiaries.
Key Aspects:
Focus on Identified Students: Services are directed towards a select group of students with the greatest educational needs, based on multiple, objective, and educationally related criteria.
Supplemental Services: The Title I funds are used to provide services that are in addition to the regular educational program and are designed to help participating students achieve state academic standards.
Needs-Based: Student eligibility for targeted assistance is determined by their identified academic needs, rather than solely based on income.
Coordination with Regular Program: The targeted assistance program must be coordinated with the school's regular educational program to ensure alignment and maximize effectiveness.
Non-Supplanting: Title I funds in a targeted assistance program must be used to supplement, not replace, the services that would otherwise be provided with state and local funds.
