Federal Programs (Title I)

One of the educational opportunities that evolved from the school district merger process in the Spring of 2009 was the Central Valley School District’s All Students’ Advancement Plan (ASAP). Educators who were passionate about raising student achievement at all grade levels developed this plan. A portion of the ASAP program is supported by federal funds through the Title I program. Title I is the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools. The goal is to provide a high-quality education for every child. The program provides extra help to students who need it most.

In this plan, the Central Valley School District staff will review state and local assessment data to determine cohort and individual student strengths and weaknesses. Upon reviewing the assessment results, staff members will then make data-driven decisions to provide differentiated instruction opportunities for students. ASAP was not only designed to address remediation and reinforcement of curricula but to make academic enhancement a priority as well in the Central Valley School District.

The ASAP program is based on the RtII model. Three levels of Tiered support exist within ASAP. Each classroom teacher provides Tier I support, and it is the foundation of every child’s core educational program. Tier II services occur for students who have met the grade level selection criteria. These services occur in addition to the core educational program multiple times per week. Tier III services are provided only after students have been involved in Tier II services. Based on each child’s needs, Tier III services typically occur on a daily basis.
