Kendall Fulham Reading Specialist Mrs. Fulham is a certified teacher with additional training in the area of reading and provides small group reading instruction to students who need extra support in reading.

Title I Tutors: Our Title I Tutors work with students in Grades 1-5 on Reading and Math skills.

What is Title I? Title I is the largest federally funded program in the United States that strives to provide equal opportunity and educational help for all students to succeed in school. The name “Title I,” is short for “Part A of Title I of the Improving America’s Schools Act of 1994, Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965” and was reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Title I is now operating under the guidelines of ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) of 2015.

GOAL The goal of Title I is to ensure that ALL children have an opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach grade-level proficiency. Students can receive help in both reading and math.

Schoolwide Title I All 20 of Rowan-Salisbury’s Elementary Schools are Schoolwide Title I schools. This means that Title I money is blended with local money to benefit ALL the children at Landis Elementary School. There is absolutely NO connection between a student receiving Title I academic help and receiving free or reduced lunch.

How Title I money is used at Landis ...

School-Home Agreement The purpose of the School-Home Agreement pledges that school is a partnership between the student, parent, teacher, and principal.
