2013-14 State Compensatory Education Plan for Springtown Elementary School TEC Ch. 29.081; TEC Ch. 42.152 (b); TAC Ch. 61.1027

Program Overview

State Compensatory Education is funding for programs and services that supplement the regular education program, for identified at-risk students in SISD.

The goal of SCE is to improve student scores on state tests for at-risk students and to close the gap between them and all other students in the district.

The purpose of the program is to increase academic achievement and to reduce the drop-out rate of at-risk students. SISD’s Title I campuses are schoolwide and over 40% free and reduced lunch. SCE funds are coded Program Intent Code 30 and

are combined with Title I funds. Description of Program SCE funds may be used to provide a compensatory, intensive, or accelerated instructional program that results in students achieving at grade level and reduces the number of students dropping out of school. Funding to the district is based on the of number free or reduced lunch students. Funding to campuses is based on the number of identified at-risk students at the campus. On SISD Title I campuses, program resources can be used to meet academic needs of all students, focusing on at-risk students. On non-Title I campuses, program resources must be used to meet academic needs of only at-risk students identified using state defined criteria. Springtown Elementary School is a Title I campus.
