Federal Programs
The Mifflinburg Area School District operates a Schoolwide Title I program in our elementary and intermediate schools.
Title I is a federally funded program designed to support the academic growth of all students and is a part of the “Every Student Succeeds Act” of 2015. The funds generated through the Title I grant are dedicated to ensuring students have access to supplemental instruction in core content areas, research based instructional strategies and assessments, a focus on early childhood literacy, and highly qualified teachers.
Reading specialists and paraprofessionals are strategically placed in each of these buildings. These staff members work with classroom teachers to support and instruct struggling students, as determined by standard assessments, universal screening tools, running records, and teacher observations. This is a fluid program that provides academic support, based on multiple data sources, to any/all students, at any time throughout the school year.
