  Title I Servicesfor Students: Academic Intervention Students who score below proficiency levels on state tests in core academic subjects (i.e., English Language Arts, mathematics) receive academic intervention services (AIS). AIS varies depending on the needs of the child (Math and/or Reading lab, research-based systematic intervention programs, small group instruction, extra period of instruction, etc.). Schools provide parents of students receiving AIS services with the following information: the reason why the child has been identified, the type of services the child will receive, and when the services will begin and end. In addition, schools provide parents with reports on the child’s academic progress in the AIS program via conferences and trimester report cards. Services are based on scientific research regarding effective instructional practices. Detailed information on AIS services can be obtained through your child’s classroom teacher.
