programs in Federal and Special Programs supplement the regular
education services made available from basic education funding.
The funds for these supplementary services come from state and federal
sources with specific regulations that guide their use.

in grades kindergarten through grade 8 is the focus for Title I
and LAP resources. These programs serve specific schools that meet
the criteria set by the state and federal governments.
Students
new to the United States who speak a language other than English
are taught the English language as participants of the English Language
Learner Program. The services are available to each student who
meets the criteria established by the state.

tribe have access to the Indian Education Program. The program assists parents in supporting their students in preparation for successful participation in college, career and citizenship opportunities.
The
