The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is a United States federal statute originally enacted in 1965. These federal funds are authorized for professional development, instructional materials, resources to support educational programs, and parental involvement programs. The current reauthorization of ESEA is the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015.
Fruitvale ISD receives funding for the following entitlement programs within the Elementary and Secondary Education Act:
Title I, Part A - Improving Basic Programs
This NCLB entitlement provides supplemental resources to schools with high concentrations of students from low-income families, allowing LEAs to provide a high-quality education that will enable all children to meet the state's student performance standards. Title I, Part A provides support to schools in implementing either a school-wide program or a targeted assistance program and requires that these programs use effective methods and instructional strategies that are grounded in scientifically based research.
Fruitvale ISD has three schools that are served as Title I Schoolwide Campuses.
Hallie Randall Elementary School

Title II, Part A - Teacher Training and Recruiting

Title III, Part A – English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement Act (SSA Agreement with ESC Region 7)

Title IV, Part A - Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant Program
The overarching goal of Title IV, Part A - SSAEP, is to increase the capacity of state education agencies, local educational agencies (LEAs), campuses, and communities to meet the following three goals: (1) Provide all students access to a well-rounded education, (2) Improve academic outcomes by maintaining safe and healthy students, and (3) Improve the use of technology to advance student academic achievement.
REAP
The Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) assists eligible LEAs in addressing local academic needs more effectively by giving them greater flexibility in the use of limited federal resources. Programs under subparts 1 and 2 are designed to address the unique needs of rural school districts that frequently -
Lack the personnel and resources to compete effectively for federal competitive grants; and
Receive formula allocations in amounts too small to be effective in meeting their intended purposes.
The programs are designed to supplement funding to help rural local educational agencies (LEAs) to increase student academic achievement and decrease dropout rate.
