Education Enhancements

 

Education Program Enhancements provide resources for special studies, projects, new activities, and other costs associated with enhancing the basic educational programs provided to students. These funds allow BIE to provide specialized assistance to schools struggling to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) that is targeted to address the schools unique needs and specific gaps in achievement. Typically, assistance involves implementation of specialized programs in reading and math, and staff development for principals, teachers and support staff.
