Using Title I and IDEA to Fund RtI in Your Schools

 PART I: In the morning, join Rachel Zellmer from the DPI as she explains various ways to fund RtI in your schools. Specifically she will cover CEIS and Schoolwide Set-Aside, which are underused funding sources in schools across Wisconsin. Learn how you can shift existing funds from IDEA to pay for RtI processes in general education. General Q&A and individual district questions will be addressed. This portion of the meeting is pertinent for any school with Title I programming, regardless of the type.

LUNCH: Provided by CESA 5

PART II: In the afternoon, Lisa Arneson from CESA 5 will present the benefits and guidelines for switching from Targeted Assistance Title I programming to Schoolwide programming. Access to and use of funds becomes much more flexible under this method, and services to students become more fluid. Schoolwide forms and plans will be shared, as will networking and support. This portion pertains only to Targeted Assistance models that wish to explore Schoolwide options.
