Categorical Programs
Categorical Programs provide targeted funding and services to support specific student needs.
The Categorical Programs office assists the schools to better support students through the Title I, LAP, Multilingual Learner, and KIT – Homeless Education programs.
Categorical Programs provides additional staff, professional development, curriculum, and materials to ensure that qualifying students are given the necessary support to reach academic standards. Staff work closely with families and community partners to maximize support.
The goal is to ensure every student has equitable access to a high-quality education.
