Title I
Title I is a program of the United States Department of Education. The funds provided by the Title I program target academically disadvantaged students by helping them to meet high standards. Manheim Township School District uses federal Title I funds to provide supplemental services including the Reading Lab, the Math Lab, Strategic Literacy classes, instructional coaching for teachers, parent workshops and trainings, and staffing for specially designed courses. Some of the funds are also used for materials and technology for Title I students in their traditional classes. These services are provided to students in need at our high school and middle school.
