The School District of Mauston and St. Pat's receive federal Title funding.  The poverty level of students in our schools determine the amount of funding received each year:

• Title I, Part A makes possible teachers for additional services to support interventions for struggling learners. There are two types of funding:
  • When a school qualifies for Schoolwide services,  all students are eligible to receive the additional instruction, based on academic need. West Side Elementary, Grayside Elementary and Lyndon Station Elementary schools qualify as Schoolwide schools.
  • Targeted Assistance services make it possible to provide the same benefits but only to selected students based on academic need. St. Pat's is a Targeted Assistance school.
• Public ESSA and district summary reports are posted  on WISEdash Public. 
  • To navigate WISEdash Public, select dashboards>ESSA Overview>Filter for the District and Year>click on the page after selecting a district in the filter>Scroll down to Student Performance Data and select ESSA Accountability Reports.  OR Select the Quick-Start button OR Select User Help.

• Report Card for Every Student - You have a right to now how well you child is progressing.  Schools that operate Title I, part A programs must generate a report card for every student that explains how well that student scored on the state assessment in, at least, reading, English language arts and mathematics.

Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Program

The School District of Mauston has been awarded two Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center Program grants. These grants fund the operation of the Eagle After School programs at West Side and Grayside Elementary schools.

The program supports elementary students and their families by providing a safe environment for students when school is not in session. Mauston's Eagle After School Program is designed to support and complement regular school-day academic programs, as well as provide opportunities for academic enrichment and social development. The Eagle After School Program will work in conjunction with all of the Mauston area Elementary Schools to offer students a wide variety of after-school activities focused on academics, art, music, recreational play, positive behavioral choices, health, wellness, and developing healthy social relationships. For more information about Mauston's program see EASP.

For more information about the grants see DPI, Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Grant Program.

Federal Charter School Grants

The School District of Mauston has been awarded several Federal Charter School grants.  These competitive grants provide start-up funds to establish a board approved charter school in the district.  This funding provides the resources for establishing curriculum, training teachers and outfitting the new school with the resources needed to operate.  Grants typically support the first 4-5 years of operation as the school becomes established.
