English/language arts, and math. The No Child Left
Behind Act states that these services must be of
high quality, research-based, and specifically
designed to increase the academic achievement of
eligible children. Eligible students K - 9 must
attend Title I (Tier 2) schools (e.g. Atkinson
Elementary, Maupin Elementary, Portland Elementary,
Semple Elementary, Knight Middle, Noe Middle, Stuart
Middle, Western Middle, Central High, Shawnee High,
and Western High).
During the 2006-2007 school year, the program will
be offered Monday - Friday from 2:30 p.m. - 6 p.m.
and 10:00 a.m. - 6 p.m. on days school is not in

Community Juvenile Justice
Partnership Grant Program
PCRC recently was awarded a grant from the Kentucky Department of
Juvenile Justice
Community Juvenile Justice Partnership Grant Program
(CJJPG), in part to
increase the academic proficiency of students ages 6
- 15 in the areas of reading, English/language arts,
and math. 75% of the youth participating in
tutoring and remediation services will improve their
academic proficiency by at least one letter grade.
For schools that do not use letter grades, the youth
will progress from Little Progress-LP to
Progressing with Help-PH or Steady
Progress-SP.
PCRC will utilize PLATO Learning’s Assessment and
Instructional Solutions to provide tutoring and
remediation services in the areas of reading,
English/language arts, and math. PLATO Learning’s
Assessment and Instructional Solutions are
state-of-the art web based solutions designed to
increase student academic proficiency,
especially among those at risk of educational
failure.
