Stopping the funding cliff

​

​

Title IIA Supporting Effective Instruction

​

Purpose of Title II:

​

Improve teacher and leader quality and focus on preparing, training, and recruiting high-quality teachers and principals.

​

Title II requirements:

​

• Must be evidence based “ESSA TIERS of Evidence”.
• Are sustained, intensive, collaborative, job embedded, data driven and classroom focused. (No, one day, short term workshops or conferences)
• Should reinforce or lay groundwork as part of a larger, systematic professional development plan within the Comprehensive Plan
• Must have S.M.A.R.T.I.E goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable,

Relevant, Time-bound, Inclusive, and Equitable))

​

• May transfer to Title I to support programs for at risk students

​

​

​

​

​

Allocation:

​

2020 Census Data:

9.53% of students 5-17 meet the requirements to be considered living in poverty (state average 13.39%)

​

2023-24 Funding: $46,031.00*

2022-23 Carryover: $29,457.00

Total: $75,488.00

​

These funds are currently being used for LETRS Training

​

• Stipend for teachers to complete LETRS online training outside the work day
• Total for the 2023-24 school year spent on LETRS training will be $82,500.00

​

​

2013-14 BEASD received $84,000 in Title II

​

Title IV A: Student Support and Academic Enrichment

​

1) Provide all students with access to a well-rounded education:

• Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) for underrepresented groups
• Accelerated Learning Programs such as reimbursement low income students who are enrolled in AP courses and plan to take the exams
• Evidenced-based drug and violence prevention
• School based mental health services

2) Improve school conditions for student learning,

3) Improve the use of technology in order to improve the academic achievement

and digital literacy of all students. (can only 15% of funds on infrastructure)

​

Must have S.M.A.R.T.I.E goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable,

Relevant, Time-bound, Inclusive, and Equitable)

​

May be transferred to Title I or Title II

​

Funding

​

2022-23 we had carryover ( $14,000 out of $22,901):

​

• Dues and fees for AP tests for students enrolled in these courses
• School based mental health services (Youth mental health first aid for the school students and teacher professional learning)

​

Title IV Funds 2023-24: Transferred to Title II to help support LETRS Training

​

​

​

Title II & IV moving forward for 2024-25 School year

​

PDE will not release 2024-25 funding until May. However, I project for it to hold steady with Title II at $46,000.00 and Title IV $23,000.00

​

​

Plans:

​

Transfer both Title II & Title IV to be used to offset an intervention teacher salary and benefits that was being paid through ESSER. Which will bolster the Title I Schoolwide Program.

​

Thank You for attending the Title II & IV Stakeholder meeting.
