Students across Knox County are receiving additional academic support through Title I funding, a federally funded program designed to help students who need extra assistance in reading, math and other core academic areas.
The Knox County Educational Service Center administers Title I services for participating schools and districts throughout the county. The program provides additional instructional support to students who may be at greater risk of falling behind academically.
Title I funding is intended to help schools provide additional resources and interventions while giving students opportunities to strengthen foundational academic skills.
In Knox County, the program is being used to provide targeted assistance in areas including reading and mathematics. The support can include additional instruction and interventions tailored to individual student needs.
The Knox County ESC recently relocated its offices to the Woodward Annex, formerly known as the Cooper Building, in downtown Mount Vernon. The historic building was constructed in 1884.
The Title I program is one of several ways local schools and educational agencies are working to address academic achievement and provide additional resources to students as districts navigate changing enrollment and financial pressures.
