Brunswick County Public Schools Title I Information
Title I is a federal program that provides funding to assist students in the areas of math and English/reading. Brunswick County Public Schools has four Title I School wide schools: Meherrin-Powellton Elementary, Red Oak-Sturgeon Elementary, Totaro Elementary, and Russell Middle School. These schools receive additional funding due to their percentage of students participating in free and reduced lunches. Brunswick High is not currently identified as a Title I school.In these schools Title I teachers work within the classrooms alongside the teacher as well as with small groups of students. The Title I teachers at each school are Angela Parker and Betsy Temple (Meherrin-Powellton); Kathy Perry (Red Oak-Sturgeon); Darlene Brown, Brenda Coleman, and Wilma Tyler (Totaro); and Martha Trusty and Jocelyn Sims (Russell Middle).
