Will the same schools that received Pupil Motivation and Maintenance funds in 2004-05 receive Block Grant funds for outreach consultants in 2005-06 and thereafter?
Not necessarily. Recently enacted legislation, Assembly Bill 1136, requires school districts to place outreach consultants in schools that are eligible for funding under Title I of the No Child Left Behind Act and that have at least 50 percent of their pupils eligible for free and reduced-priced meals.
