Hoosier Academies Virtual Charter School is Changing from Targeted Assistance to a School Wide Title 1 Program! During the 2014-2015 school year, Hoosier Academies Virtual Charter operated a Targeted Assistance Title 1 program. Schools with less than a 40% poverty rate are eligible for the Title 1 Targeted Assistance program. Targeted Assistance means that students at risk for meeting academic standards are identified through assessment data. Those identified students receive Title 1 services in the areas of math and/or reading. For the 2015-2016 school year, Hoosier Academies Virtual Charter school will convert from a Targeted Assistance Title 1 program to a Schoolwide Title 1 Program. Schools with greater than a 40% poverty rate are eligible for the Title 1 Schoolwide Program or schools that are deemed a “Focus” or “Priority” school based on the school letter grade are eligible to convert to a Title 1 Schoolwide program. Hoosier Academies Virtual Charter is a “Priority” school, thus meeting the qualifications to convert to a schoolwide program. Instead of identifying the eligibility of individual students, the entire school benefits from Title 1 services. A school improvement plan will be implemented to focus on improving the achievement of all students. |
