LAP is a state-funded program designed to serve students with the greatest deficits in academic basic skills as identified by statewide assessments.
The Learning Assistance Program addresses basic skills including reading, writing, mathematics and readiness associated with those skills. Students scoring in levels 1 and 2 on state and district assessments are the focus of this support to increase student performance.
