ELK RIVER DISTRICT SHARED TIME PROG

Elementary School K - 5th

School Overview

The **Elk River District Shared Time Program** is a specialized educational offering provided by the Elk River Area School District (ISD 728). Unlike a traditional, full-time comprehensive school, the "Shared Time" model is designed to provide supplemental or elective programming for students who are otherwise enrolled in private, parochial, or home-school environments.

The program allows students to access specific district resources—typically in subjects like STEM, world languages, arts, or vocational training—that may not be fully available at their primary school. By participating in this program, these students remain enrolled in their private or home-school setting while taking advantage of the specialized curriculum, facilities, and certified teaching staff provided by the Elk River district. It serves as a bridge for families seeking a hybrid educational experience that combines the values of their chosen home or private schooling with the broader academic breadth of the public school system.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
