State and District Use of Title II, Part A Funds in 2019-20. Study Highlights. NCEE 2021-011
National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance
This report presents the study highlights from the full report, "State and District Use of Title II, Part A Funds in 2019-20. NCEE 2021-011." The report, required by Congress, provides a national picture of state and district priorities for Title II-A funds in the 2019-20 school year. State and district surveys on the use of Title II-A funds were administered in the spring and summer of 2020. The district sample of 5,515 school districts included enough districts in each state to permit state-level estimates of districts' use of Title II-A funds. Key findings include: (1) About half of the states and a quarter of the districts used new ESSA flexibility; (2) Professional development was a popular and substantial use of districts' Title II-A funds, with both short- and long-term training in common; and (3) To a lesser extent, districts invested in recruiting and retaining effective educators and reducing class size.
