Title I and more!
Federal programs in Surry County Schools include Title I, Title II, Title III, and Migrant Title I Part C providing additional enrichment for students and families. Title IV, Part A, and RLIS are also part of the Federal Programs umbrella.
Surry County Schools uses its federal funds to promote academic achievement and provide supplemental funds to all 11 elementary schools through Title I, school-wide programming.
