Title I
Title I is a federally funded program that was founded in the mid-1960’s by President Lyndon B. Johnson as part of the “war against poverty.” Since that time, Title I has helped hundreds of thousands of students who struggle in the areas of math and reading.
At Kato Public Charter School, the Title I program works with students as supplementary help; they do not replace any student’s primary teacher. In many ways Title I can be compared to an in-school tutoring system. If a student is struggling in math or reading or both, his teacher can recommend that he get extra help from the Title I staff. Teachers also examine test scores to help determine if a student needs help from Title I. Parents can also request Title I help for their child. There are some restrictions regarding students who are in the Special Education program but those are addressed on an individual basis.
Title I encourages parents to play a strong role in their children’s education. The Title I staff is available every day between the hours of 8 and 3 and can be reached at 507-387-5524.
