Findings from the 2014-15 Survey on the Use of Funds under Title II, Part A. Subgrants to LEAS
US Department of Education
The "Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965," as amended (ESEA), provides funds to States and districts to improve the quality of their teachers and administrators in order to raise student achievement. These funds are provided through ESEA Title II, Part A ("Improving Teacher Quality State Grants--Subgrants to LEAs"). Under ESEA, States can use funds for a variety of teacher quality activities in any subject area. In the 2014-15 school year, Title II, Part A provided States with approximately $2.13 billion for teacher quality reforms. In order to better understand how school districts used the funds available to them in the 2014-15 school year, surveys were administered to a nationally representative sample of 800 school districts. The sample of districts was drawn from the Common Core of Data (CCD) and stratified by district size (enrollment) and level of poverty. District poverty data are from the U.S. Census Bureau. The key findings in this document summarize data from the completed surveys of 75 percent of the sampled districts. All weights were adjusted for nonresponse.
