Reading First (Title I, Part B)
Overview
|
Iowa has submitted the state application to receive a Reading First
grant. As outlined in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, state
applications will undergo a thorough review by an expert panel, which
was chosen by the secretary of education, the National Institute for
Literacy, the National Research Council of the National Academy of
Sciences, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development of the National Institutes of Health. These reviews will
be used to make funding recommendations to the secretary and to
provide comments and technical assistance to the states. When Iowa
receives approval of the state’s grant, the Department will begin the
technical assistance process for districts to apply for the receipt of
program funds. It is expected that this process will take at least
six months – therefore, no funds will be available to school districts
at the beginning of the 2002-2003 school year.
