Title I School

Tapteal Elementary participates in the Closing Educational Achievement Gaps (Title I) Program of the Every Student Succeeds Act.

Title I, Part A is a federal program that provides additional instructional services and activities. These additional supports help students in meeting the challenging state academic standards and closing the educational opportunity gap.

Our goal is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state academic standards. Richland School District Title I schools qualify for federal grant money which we use for additional staffing, parent family involvement, staff development, and supplemental instructional supports to help us meet that goal.
