What Does It Mean To Be A Title I School?
Title I is the largest federal aid program for public schools. Schools can be designated as “Title I” if certain criteria are met. Title I is the federal government’s commitment to closing the achievement gap between low-income and moderate to high income students. These funds are used to help all students meet academic standards. Click the links below to learn more!

How We Implement Title Funds at Harris
My name is Jordyn Rucker, one of the resource teachers at Harris Elementary. Currently, the district provides Harris with 2.5 resource teachers, but our students' needs are better met with 3 full time teachers. As a resource teacher, I have the ability to provide pull-out services as well as push-in services within the school day. My goal this year, as the resource teacher, is to collaborate with all educators to ensure that students are getting appropriate support in the least restrictive environment. By collaborating with all educators, and students we are able to achieve student success within the general education classroom at Harris Elementary. Additionally, as one of Harris's resource teachers, I want to promote self advocacy, collaboration among students, as well as taking responsibility for one's education.
