Which federal education program funds may be combined to support a schoolwide program?
A. Although the Improving America’s Schools Act of 1994, Public Law 103-382, allows all of the listed programs to combine funds to support a schoolwide program, New Jersey only permits the following programs to be blended in school-based budgets: • Title I, Part A of ESEA: Helping Disadvantaged Children Meet High Standards, Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education Agencies • Title II of ESEA: Eisenhower Professional Development • Title IV of ESEA: Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities • Title VI of ESEA: Innovative Education Program Strategies • Title IX of ESEA: Indian Education • Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) • Class Size Reduction In New Jersey, funds from the following federal programs are distributed through contract agreements with LEAs to provide services districtwide and, in some cases, beyond the confines of the LEA. In such cases, the LEA maintains line item budgets and expenditure reporting.
