Federal Class Size Reduction Program

News
    Recently, the Class-Size Reduction Program was incorporated into the new ESEA Title II Teacher Quality block grant. States and local education agencies may use any portion of the nearly $3 billion in Title II funds to, among other purposes, hire qualified teachers to reduce class size. Visit the No Child Left Behind Act web site at http://www.ed.gov/offices/OESE/esea/progsum/title2a.html for current information about Title II, and other Elementary and Secondary Education programs reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.

This is preliminary guidance from the US Department of Education. Additional guidance will be forthcoming and will be used by the Iowa Department of Education to revise the application form for Iowa districts to use to apply for the federal funds.

School districts will again apply directly to the Iowa Department of Education for subgrants. The funds will be a part of the Title II Teacher Quality grant. When the federal allocation is finalized, notice will be given to all Iowa districts to apply. Additional information will be posted on the DE website when it is available from the US Department of Education.
