The Academic Services office provides guidance and technical assistance regarding the responsible and effective use of federal program dollars to support quality educational programs for the students of Angleton ISD. Using a collaborative approach, we provide support for district initiatives as well as work with each campus to provide resources that promote student achievement.
Program Descriptions:
Title I, Part A - Improving Basic Programs
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act provides supplemental funding to assist schools with high concentrations of students from low-income families. This funding pays for resources that help schools to provide a high-quality education that will enable all children to meet the state's student performance standards. Angleton ISD has 7 campuses identified as Title I, Part A Schoolwide campuses. These programs use effective methods and instructional strategies that are grounded in scientific research. In Angleton, the funded strategies include professional development for campus staff, parental involvement support, and campus-based academic interventions.
Title II, Part A - Teacher and Principal Training and Recruitment Fund
The Teacher and Principal Training and Recruitment Fund provides supplemental funding to improve student achievement. The funds are used to elevate teacher and principal quality through recruitment, hiring and retention strategies and to increase the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools. The program uses scientifically based professional development interventions and holds districts and schools accountable for improvements in student academic performance.
Title III, Part A - English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement Act
Title III, Part A aims to ensure that English language learners (ELLs) and immigrant students attain English language proficiency and meet the same challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards as all children are expected to meet. It serves as a supplement to Title I, Part A funding.
