Federal Entitlement Grants supplement the cost of various of educational needs. The funding formula that establishes each district's allocation is based on the socio-economics of the city or town. Private school allocations are awarded based on student enrollment, economic need, and declared interest from each private school.

Title I - Funds are targeted K-5 with a focus on tiered support in English language arts and mathematics. LPS funding is supplemented by Title I to support: salary off-sets, school year tutorial and after school services, extended school year tutorial, professional development, and curriculum supplies and materials.

Title IIA - Funds are intended to supplement Teacher Quality activities including: coaching, professional development and mentorship (state requirement) of new teachers.

Title III - Funds are targeted to supplement English Language Learners (ELLs). FY23 is the first year the LPS will receive it's own Title III allocation. From FY18-FY22 LPS received funding through the Collaborative for Educational Services (CES) in Northampton because our ELL student enrollment was under 100 across the district.

Title IVA - Funds are intended to supplement Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and Technology.
