Title I /
Learning Assistance Program (LAP)

The Title I/LAP Program is an important partner in achieving Arlington School District's vision that all children will achieve academic success, develop a sense of purpose, and view learning as a life-long experience.

The purpose and goals of the federal Title I Program and the state Learning Assistance Program (LAP) are essentially the same. Both programs seek to improve the educational opportunities of students who are academically at-risk for mastering the material set forth within the state content standards. Both programs provide supplemental instruction; in effect, a "double dose" of instruction in the student's area of greatest need (reading or math). Overall, the rules governing Title I are more stringent than those for LAP.
