This document serves as an addendum to the Campus Improvement Plan for Markham Elementary, detailing the State Compensatory Education (SCE) programs and services for the 2015-2016 school year. It focuses on identifying and supporting at-risk students through targeted academic interventions, including STAAR tutorials, daily accelerated instruction, instructional support, and counseling services. The plan leverages federal and state resources such as Title I, Title II, Title III, ESL, and Special Education programs. The strategic objective is to reduce the dropout rate and diminish the disparity in state assessment performance for at-risk students, thereby enhancing overall academic success.
