Categorical Programs
How does an economically disadvantaged or English as a second language child get the opportunity to become everything he or she dreams to be? Through the persistence and assistance of the child, teachers, family and community utilizing the funding and tools provided through state and federal categorical programs.
The Office of Categorical Programs administers and coordinates the implementation of state and federal categorical programs. These programs provide supplemental services for students from low-income families and students who are English learners. Additionally, these programs provide for teacher and administrator training and professional development to assist our staff in achieving the high level teaching skills required to serve our community with the level of education that every child deserves.
