How It Works

• Local school districts can make spending decisions for up to 50 percent of their non-Title I Federal funding.
• Flexibility applies to non-Title I Federal funds, including teacher quality, technology, after-school learning, and Safe and Drug Free Schools.
• Example: if a local district prefers to use 50 percent of its Federal technology funds for recruiting quality teachers instead of technology, it can do so.
• In addition, up to 150 local school districts nationwide can participate in a local flex “pilot project” to make spending decisions for 100 percent of non-Title I Federal funds.
