Can SLC funds be used to hire teachers?
The SLC program is designed to help large high schools create smaller, more personalized communities. The Department anticipates that many schools will find that their staffing needs change as they create smaller learning communities. Nevertheless, the Department encourages schools to avoid relying on temporary SLC funds to meet staffing needs. Implementation grant applications must demonstrate the ability to sustain proposed SLCs at the end of the grant period. LEAs relying on SLC funds to pay teacher salaries seem unlikely to meet this goal.
