Award Description: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agengies, Recovery Act To help local education agencies (LEAs) and schools improve the teaching and learning of children failing, or most at-risk of failing, to meet challenging State academic standards.
Project Description: Use of funds varies, depending on whether a school is operating a schoolwide program under Title I, section 1114 of ESEA or a targeted assistance program under Section 1115. A school with at least a 40 percent poverty rate may choose to operate a schoolwide program under Section 1114 that allows Title I funds to be combined with other Federal, State, and local funds to upgrade the school's overall instructional program. LEAs, however, must ensure that each school operating a schoolwide program use Title I and other Federal funds to supplement the amount of funds that would, in the absence of Federal funds, be made available from non-Federal sources to that school. All other participating schools must operate targeted assistance programs, which provide extra instruction to those children failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet challenging State academic standards. Targeted assistance programs must ensure that Title I services supplement, not supplant the regular education programs normally provided by State and local educational agencies. This program is subject to non-supplanting requirements and must use a restricted indirect cost rate, which is referenced under 34 CFR 76.564-76.569.
Jobs Summary: Jobs created as of 9/30/2009 represent employment types such as: teachers, paraprofessionals, literacy coaches, reading specialist, math specialists, intervention specialist, aids, and resource professionals. This total is made up of both saved and created positions. (Total jobs reported: 449)
