What is EIP?

Children start school at a designated chronological age, but differ greatly in their intellectual development and experience base. The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is designed to serve students who are at risk of not reaching or maintaining academic grade level. The purpose of the Early Intervention Program is to provide additional instructional resources to help students who are performing below grade level obtain the necessary academic skills to reach grade level performance in the shortest possible time. 

In Columbia County, EIP services focus on reading and math. Students receiving EIP support are taught reading and/or math in a smaller group with explicit instruction designed to help students perform on grade level.
