Summary: The ESSER Title 1/31a paraprofessional works directly with students, assisting teachers with students needing academic interventions. This position delivers instruction in a small group setting under the supervision of a certified teacher. This position works with the most at-risk students as identified by appropriate data.

A note regarding Title I Programming:

While all students attending a Title I school wide program school are eligible to participate in all aspects of the school wide program, the federal statute requires schools to particularly address the needs of low-achieving children and those at risk of not meeting the state student academic achievement standards. In order to know how best to address the needs of these students, the school by necessity needs to know which children have special needs. Also, in order to appropriately disaggregate data on the state assessments (M-Step/MME) and to measure adequate yearly progress (AYP), schools must further identify children by gender, ethnicity, and by their status as economically disadvantaged, disabled, and/or limited-English proficient.

Grant funded program services supplement and support but do not supplant or replace the general educational program of the school district
