Title I / LAP
Title 1, Part A
Title I, Part A is a federal program that helps students who need extra support in literacy and math reach grade-level standards. In NKSD, schools with higher rates of free and reduced lunch receive Title I funding to provide small group instruction led by certified teachers. Students are identified using test scores, grades, reading assessments, and teacher observations. As a parent or guardian, you have the right to request information or meetings about Title I services at any time. Reach out to your child's school principal or the Teaching and Learning Services department with any questions.

The Learning Assistance Program (LAP) provides extra support in reading, writing, and math for students who need additional help meeting academic standards. Each NKSD elementary school has a dedicated LAP Reading Specialist who works directly with students.
