Troup County School System benefits from many programs which are funded through the federal government. This funding allows TCSS to offer additional training, instruction, technology and other critical services which are not provided for through state and local education funds.
Title I, Part A Education for the Disadvantaged
Title I, Part A provides financial assistance to schools which have high populations of economically disadvantaged students. The purpose of the program is to provide additional academic support to low-income students to ensure all students meet state standards.
All elementary schools in the Troup County School System are designated as Title I schools.
Title II, Part A Academic Improvement and Teacher Quality
The purpose of Title II, Part A is to increase academic achievement by improving the quality of teachers and principals in our schools. In TCSS, these funds are utilized to reduce class size and provide professional development. All professional development funded by Title II A must be tied to the school improvement plan and student achievement scores.
Title II, Part D Enhancing Education through Technology
The goal of the Education Technology grant is to improve student academic achievement through the use of technology in elementary and secondary schools. The grant is also used to help every student become technologically literate by the end of the 8th grade. In addition, the grant is used to encourage the integration of technology through teacher training and curriculum development to establish successful research-based instruction methods.
