The Office of Government Programs operates within a coherent network based on the shared vision that all children can learn. The goal of the Office of Government Programs is to ensure that all children are thriving academically by providing support and services for: Intellectually Gifted Instruction, Bilingual/ESL Programs and Instruction, Non-public Schools and Compensatory Instruction.

The Office of Government Programs supports 21st Century learners by responsibly seeking out and managing multimillion dollar grants. In an effort to provide resources to the students, teachers, administrators and parents, the Office of Government Programs will continue to partner with Federal, State and local agencies. Grants managed by the Office of Government Programs include: SIG – (School Improvement Grant), ESSA – (Every Student Succeeds Act – Formerly NCLB), Title I, IIA, Title III, Child Assault Prevention Grant (CAP), Play Unified Grant, and the College and Career Readiness Grant. The office actively seeks and applies for grant opportunities to benefit our students and community.

Parental Involvement and Outreach represents a large component of the Government Programs mission. Monthly and annual parental involvement workshops and events are offered to partner with parents to provide the best possible educational and social-emotional programs for our students.
