How may C4E districts use their Contract amount?
The law specifies six categories of allowable programs and activities: • class size reduction; • increased time on task; • teacher and principal quality initiatives; • middle and high school restructuring; • full-day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten; and • model programs for English language learners. With approval by the Commissioner, districts may spend up to 15 percent of the contract amount on other “experimental” programs to improve student achievement.
