Federal Programs
Title I
Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended (ESEA) provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. Federal funds are currently allocated through four statutory formulas that are based primarily on census poverty estimates and the cost of education in each state.
Title II
The purpose of the program is to increase academic achievement by improving teacher and principal quality. This program is carried out by: increasing the number of highly qualified teachers in classrooms, increasing the number of highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools, and increasing the effectiveness of teachers and principals by holding schools accountable for improvements in student academic achievement.
Title IV
The purpose of Title IV.A is to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing the capacity of states, LEAs, schools and local communities to: provide all students with access to a well-rounded education, improve school conditions for student learning, and improve the use of technology in order to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.
Thank you for your interest in how Federal Programs are being implemented to improve our school and ultimately, the success of our students. If you have any questions or ideas, or concerns, please feel free to contact: Mr. Christian Meier, Federal Programs Coordinator.
Title IX
The District does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education program or activity that it operates and is required by Title IX not to discriminate in such a manner. The requirement not to discriminate in the education program or activity extends to admissions and employment. Inquiries about the application of Title IX to the District may be referred to the Title IX Coordinator or Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights of the Department of Education, or both.
Schoolwide Program Plans
Renick School utilizes a schoolwide program through Title I to provide services to our students and staff. A schoolwide program uses its Title allocation to upgrade the entire educational program of the school in order to raise academic achievement for ALL students at the school. No longer are students or teachers labeled "Title I," but instead all students and all the teachers at the school use Title I dollars to improve the school's entire academic program.

Federal Programs Parental Involvement
The Renick R-V School District recognizes that when schools work together with families to support learning, children are inclined to succeed not just in school, but throughout life. It is the school’s intent to establish a partnership that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional and academic growth of children.
Renick R-V asks parents to be involved in the following ways:
Review and provide input on the development of the Title I Plans
Conduct an annual review of the Title I Parental Involvement Policies
Conduct an annual review of the Title I Program
Participate in Parental Involvement Activities/Nights (including)
- Open House/Title I Annual Meeting
- Parent/Teacher Conferences
- Other scheduled events & communication
The district will use the evaluation findings in designing strategies for school improvement and in revising parental involvement policies and procedures at district and building levels. If you are interested in serving on committees or teams please contact the school’s Federal Programs Director.
Parents' Bill of Rights
Revised Date: January 5, 2022
Section 161.850 RSMo requires DESE to develop and produce a publication entitled “The Parents’ Bill of Rights” that informs parents of children with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) of the educational rights provided under federal and state law. The Parents’ Bill of Rights was created and posted on the DESE web site prior to January 1, 2010.
DESE is required to review and revise the content of The Parents’ Bill of Rights as necessary to ensure it reflects current federal and state law. With the passage of Section 162.686 RSMo, which authorizes audio recording of any meetings held under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, it is necessary to revise The Parents’ Bill of Rights.
In addition to requirements for DESE for publishing The Parents’ Bill of Rights, Missouri school districts must provide a copy of the Parents’ Bill of Rights to the parents of a child upon determining the child is eligible for special education and at any time the school district is required to provide notice of procedural safeguards rights. Regulation V - Procedural Safeguards/Discipline, page 65 of the Missouri State Plan for Special Education, indicates school districts must provide a copy of the state-approved procedural safeguards one time a year, and:
1) Within five school days of the initial referral or parent request for a reevaluation;
2) Upon receipt of the first due process complaint and upon receipt of the first child complaint in a school year;
3) Upon a disciplinary change in placement; and
4) Upon request by the parent.
Please download the revised Parents' Bill of Rights and provide a copy to parents each time provision of the Procedural Safeguards Notice is required. The previous version is currently posted on the web site in 22 languages other than English. The year of posting (2010) has been added to the list for each document listed that has not yet been updated. Efforts are underway to secure translations. The posting year will be updated as translations are secured and posted. Contact Special Education Compliance if you have any questions at secompliance@dese.mo.gov 573-751-0699.
The Renick R-V School District wants to ensure all students have a free and appropriate education. Help us educate all our students in our district. If you or someone you know are living in a camper, hotel, car or with another family due to financial stress, please contact the Homeless Coordinator for our school, Mrs. Lisa Borden, Superintendent of Schools, at 660-263-4886.
