The Federal Programs Office is responsible for sound financial planning and management of public and non-public school federal funds. We interface with departments to assist with the preparation and management of Title I, Title II, Title III, IV, CARES Act, and Perkins improvement plans, budgets, hiring, requisitions for allowable expenditures, and exercising proper financial controls.
The office ensures compliance with federal statutes and regulations, state laws, DESE rules and regulations, Clever R-V School District's policies and procedures, and relevant contractual obligations.

What is Title I
Title I – Improving Basic Programs
The Title I program is designed to help children meet high academic standards by participating in Schoolwide assistance programs. School-based decision-making, professional development, and parent involvement are important components of the Title I program. Schoolwide Assistance Programs use Title I funds to upgrade the entire educational program of the school. Title I funds can be used to serve all children in a school-wide program.
Schoolwide End of Year Evaluations are completed annually to review and analyze data to determine the effectiveness of programming, strengths/weaknesses, and possible improvements or recommendations.
