classroom text books
(cake) are a district
responsibility,

books (for Title I or III
students) can be
considered an
additional resource.
Analogy
• Curriculum
development is a
district responsibility,
BUT
• Professional
development on
teaching strategies
can be considered an
additional resource.
Analogy
• Classroom teachers
are a district
responsibility,
BUT
• A Reading Recovery
teacher may be
considered an
additional resource.
Analogy
• For example, when
the Title I computer
wears out and must
be replaced or
repaired, Title I
categorical funds may
pay the cost.
Staffing Example - Director
The director of state and federal program position is
split-funded between state funds and federal
categorical funds.
• 50% of salary for administrative oversight of district
responsibilities
and
• 25% of salary for administrative oversight of Title I, Part A

available as a principal to talk with students,
parents, etc., because he/she is working on
Title I activities (perhaps a separate office)
And
Staffing Example - Principal

all activities charged to Title I and is maintained
for single audit purposes,
OR
A stipend may be paid, to a principal for Title I,
Part A duties beyond the contract day/year.
