Title II, Part A - Supporting Effective Instruction

The Title II, Part A program increases student achievement by elevating teacher and principal quality through recruitment, hiring, and retention strategies.

Under the Title II A program, nonpublic school teachers, principals and other educational personnel are eligible to participate to the extent that the district in which the nonpublic school is located uses funds to provide for professional development for teachers and other school personnel.

Funds awarded to the state and district under Title II A are subject to the uniform provisions of Section 9501 of the ESEA (Participation by Private School Children and Teachers). The statute requires districts to provide nonpublic school students, their teachers and other educational personnel with educational services on an equitable basis and in a timely manner.
