South Decatur Elementary participates in a schoolwide Title I program. Title I is a federally funded program that provides reading and math support to schools in low-income regions. At SDES, our program is comprised of two teachers who have specialized training in reading interventions and four educational assistants. Each grade level throughout the school receives Title I services several times daily.
