Federal funds provided to Tyler County under Title VI of the Elementary and Secondary Schools Act (ESEA) are also known as Rural and Low Income Schools (RLIS) funds. Like other federal programs, funds from Title VI can be used with funds from other federal programs and local district funding to achieve specific goals listed in the county's strategic plan.  

Title VI funds allocated to Tyler County are combined with local district funding to provide a Supplemental Math Teacher at Tyler Consolidated Middle School to assist students needing additional time to master the curriculum.
