Title I
North Sanpete school district is committed to ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed academically. We have five Title I schools, and through the use of Title I funds, we provide targeted educational support for students who are struggling in core subjects. These resources allow us to offer additional instruction, intervention programs, and individualized assistance, helping students build the skills and confidence they need to meet grade-level expectations and thrive in their learning.
