The Lincoln County School System is a Title I School District.
The purpose of the Title II, Part A grant is to improve teacher and leader quality and increase student success by providing evidence-based, professional development activities that are sustained, intensive, collaborative, job-embedded, data-driven, and classroom-focused.
Title IV is intended to increase capacity of State and educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and local communities to:
provide all students with access to a well-rounded education;
improve school conditions for student learning; and
improve the use of technology in order to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.
Title V is intendent to assist rural school districts in using Federal resources more effectively to improve the quality of instruction and student academic achievement.
The McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth program is designed to address the problems that homeless children and youth have faced in enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school. Under this program, local educational agencies must ensure that each homeless child and youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as other children and youth.
Homeless children and youth must have access to the educational and other services that they need to enable them to meet the same challenging State student academic achievement standards to which all students are held. In addition, homeless students may not be separated from the mainstream school environment.
States and school districts are required to review and undertake steps to revise laws, regulations, practices, or policies that may act as a barrier to the enrollment, attendance, or success in school of homeless children and youth.
