Abner Gibbs
Abner Gibbs School has a Schoolwide Title I Program - every student is considered a Title I student and benefits from parts of the program. Abner Gibbs has developed a schoolwide plan which allows Title I funds to be combined with other federal funds to upgrade the overall educational program of the school. All staff, resources, and classes are part of the overall Schoolwide program.
Title I funds are intended to supplement (add to) district programs. They are additional resources to provide services beyond the basic educational program of a school and school district. This may be in the form of staff, training or supplies. Sometimes, a program or intervention is completely funded and maintained by Title I. In other instances, Title I funds are used to introduce a new program into a school, with the goal of LEA (local educational agency - state and local funding) taking over the costs once it is established. An example of this is the Read180 and System 44 reading programs. Title I funds may also be used to train and support staff in new and innovative programs, even after the funding has transferred to the district level.
Title I funds and/or contributes to the implementation of many programs at Abner Gibbs:
Small group reading assistance from a reading specialist

2022-2023 Home-School Learning Compact

Abner Gibbs Family Involvement Policy
