The United States Department of Education (USDOE) has provided the ESEA Title I Schoolwide Guidance document to explain how operating a schoolwide program under Title I can be beneficial to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and schools as they explore how to most effectively leverage their local, state and federal funds in order to promote school reforms and raise student achievement. In particular, this document highlights specific advantages and flexibilities inherent in schoolwide programs, clarifies common misunderstanding about schoolwide programs that may persist, and serves as a resource tool, in conjunction with existing guidance, for State Education Agencies (SEAs), LEAs, and schools.
