The purpose of Federal Programs is to ensure that all children have a fair and equal opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments by:

1. administering all federal funds
2. providing technical assistance related to federal program funds to schools in Franklin County
3. assisting schools in developing, revising, and implementing their schoolwide continuous improvement plans.

Receiving federal funds allows our school system to implement research-based initiatives that supplement and enhance the school system's outstanding educational programs. Most importantly, federal funds supplement needed services to enrich the lives of our students.
