Comments on the Study of District and School Uses of Federal Education Funds
The Department of Education is conducting a comprehensive
study on how districts use Title and IDEA funding and AASA has submitted comments
on their proposed Study of District and School Uses of Federal Education Funds.
How are states
spending their funding? With regards to resources, specific groups of students,
underperformance, and salaries.
How are the
dollars being broken down and allocated under Title IV and how are the three
funding options – increased accessed to a well-rounded curriculum, safe and
healthy students, and increased effectivity of technology within schools –
being addressed in this study.
Of particular and
pressing interest, how will spending related to the REAP program be allocated? As
this program is already facing major cutbacks and changes, it is important to
know how this data takes this into account.
