Jamie Milligan, Director of Basic Programs
Basic Programs Department encompasses a variety of areas that are designed to enhance learning for children that are having a difficult time achieving their academic goals. These programs include: Title I that supplements reading and mathematics; Title II that utilizes Literacy Coaches; Title III, which is our ELL program that has our regional and newcomer center for our students with limited English; Title VI/JOM, which is our Native American programs that supplement mathematics, and our Special Services center which enhances learning with individualized education plans for our students with specific learning difficulties. These programs along with their coordinators and teachers provide a beneficial service to the students at Broken Arrow Public Schools.
