ATT Convenes Government Programs Meeting with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Representatives

This week ATT convened a meeting with school principals and school government programs representatives to discuss the rules and ideas regarding Federal Entitlement Programs. Pam Butts, Director of Nonpublic Programs at Chicago Public Schools (CPS), presided over the meeting and discussed ways to use Federal Title Programs more effectively. 

Also present from CPS were Melanie Rodriguez, CPS Title I Program Manager and Katrina Coronel, CPS Title I Program Coordinator – North Side. 

The discussion was very valuable, and all attendees left with new ideas and a better understanding of these important resources for intervention and support at ATT schools
