AASA and ASBO ESEA Memo on Potential Consequences of Title I Portability
Today, AASA and our friends at ASBO, released a memo addressed to the Conference Committee focused on ESEA reauthorization detailing the potential effects of the inclusion of Title I portability provisions found in the House ESEA bill on Title I programs. Specifically,
we asked our respective memberships to
explain how a requirement to make Title I dollars "follow a child" within a state or school system could impact
five aspects of district Title I programs: planning,
hiring and retention, administration,
and the quality and equitable distribution of funds to students in the district. The memo can be accessed here.
