The Federal Programs Department ensures that Early County Schools effectively utilize federal funding to support student achievement and close opportunity gaps. We manage programs such as Title I, Title II, and Title IV, which provide additional resources for instruction, professional learning, and student support services. Our goal is to ensure equity and access for all students while aligning with district priorities and state and federal guidelines.
