• Tyrone Area Elementary School School-wide Title 1 Program

    Our District reading curriculum is supported and supplemented by the Title 1 program in assessment, instruction, data-collection, and score reporting.  Everyone works together to support the achievement of our students.  It is truly a "School-wide" effort. All students benefit from the program. 

    What is Title 1?

    Title 1 is the nation's largest federal assistance program for schools. 

    Title 1 provides :
    • funds to support programs to help children who need extra help in reading. 
    • extra help in addition to what the children learn during reading in the classroom.
    • funding under No Child Left Behind
    • support for families through parent and family engagement events and activities.
