Title I funds are distributed to local education agencies (LEA) and schools in areas that have high concentrations of poverty. ; Academic Year: 2009-10; Grade: N/A; Note: The total number of public schools with an AYP designation in the state receiving Title I funds. Title I funds are distributed to local education agencies (LEA) and schools in areas that have high concentrations of poverty. If the funds allocated are not sufficient to serve all eligible areas, LEAs must allocate Title I, Part A funds to schools where more than 75 percent of the students are in poverty, in rank order of poverty, without regard to grade span.For schools with 75 percent poverty or less, an LEA has the discretion to serve schools in rank order by grade span and to determine which grade spans it serves [section 1113(a) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and section 200.78 of the Title I Regulations]. As a result, whether an eligible school receives Title I, Part A funds will depend on where the school stands in the ranking of low-income schools and, for a school at or below 75 percent poverty, whether the school is in a grade span to which the LEA allocates Title I, Part A funds. ; Source: EDFacts/Consolidated State Performance Report, 2009-10: http://www2.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/consolidated/index.html; Data Uploaded On: 09/19/2011

The tests are designed by each state to measure the content the state has determined appropriate for that grade and subject.

Title I funds are distributed to local education agencies (LEA) and schools in areas that have high concentrations of poverty. If the funds allocated are not sufficient to serve all eligible areas, LEAs must allocate Title I, Part A funds to schools where more than 75 percent of the students are in poverty, in rank order of poverty, without regard to grade span.For schools with 75 percent poverty or less, an LEA has the discretion to serve schools in rank order by grade span and to determine which grade spans it serves [section 1113(a) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and section 200.78 of the Title I Regulations]. As a result, whether an eligible school receives Title I, Part A funds will depend on where the school stands in the ranking of low-income schools and, for a school at or below 75 percent poverty, whether the school is in a grade span to which the LEA allocates Title I, Part A funds. ; Source: EDFacts/Consolidated State Performance Report, 2009-10: http://www2.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/consolidated/index.html; Data Uploaded On: 09/19/2011
