Title I Supplemental Education Information

Dear Parents,

Baxter Springs schools provide Title I services to students from first grade through sixth grade. These services are made available from funding by the federal government. The services are designed to help students achieve at grade level in the areas of math and language arts.

In order to continue to receive this funding we are required to provide information to all parents about programs, services and qualifications of teachers.

Baxter Schools meet student needs by supporting them with their regular classroom work and/or providing direct instruction in math and /or language arts.

Delivery of services range from support in the regular classroom to short periods of pull out to work on skills.

Our teachers are all “highly qualified” to provide Title I services  to our students. Every teacher is certified by the State of Kansas to teach these subjects at every grade level. You may at any time request information regarding the professional qualifications of the students classroom teachers. We also employ Title I paraprofessionals to provide support to students. These paras meet state and federal requirements that allow them to work in this capacity.

If for some reason, your child is taught for four consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not considered “highly qualified” you will be informed.

Parents of students that receive Title I services have the right to further information regarding specific qualifications of Title I teachers. To request information please feel free to contact me or your child's building principal. Parents may request access to their student's state assessment scores through the school office.
