Title I targeted assistance programs only provide educational services to identified individual students. PBIS is not an allowable expense.
Schoolwide programs allow staff in schools with high concentrations of low-income families to redesign their entire educational program. Serving all students Improving all structures that support student learning Combining all resources as allowed to achieve a
common goal.
Supplement Not Supplant
As a review:Title I has a supplement not supplant
requirement that affects the use of funds to implement RtI
In general, the supplement not supplant requirement is intended to ensure that services provided with Federal funds are in addition to, and do not replace or supplant, services that students would otherwise receive.

Conclusion
Version 1.0
RtI integrates many initiatives.
Examine the most appropriate flexibility and programming options for your school.
RtI has some features that are for ALL students, and some for specific students that have been systematically identified as needing additional supports. This impacts which sources of funds are allowable for each feature.
Examine all costs associated with RtI implementation, and apply the most appropriate funding source.
