Federal Title 2 Funding for Teacher Training
Federal Title 2 funding is available to pay for teacher training in independent or private schools (including faith-based schools). These funds are distributed through agencies identified by the state department of education. Sometimes it is a branch of the local public school district that is asked to administer the distribution of these funds, and other times it might be an another entity (such as any agency that might provide services to students with disabilities). Even if another agency is identified, the local school district will know who the independent school should contact regarding Title 2 funding. This funding is distributed to all independent schools who request a portion based on several criteria (that might vary slightly by state or region): date of request with first-come-first-served being a factor, the performance of your local school district (independent schools in low-performing public school districts can be given a high portion of the resources), and the percentage of low-income students in your school district or your independent school. Once the independent school asks for criteria and deadlines, they need to submit an estimated cost for a specific number of teacher training subscriptions to ClassicalU.com and get the cost approved.
These are the steps for the school administration to follow:
- If you do not yet know, contact your local public school district office and ask them who you should contact about a Title 2 funding request.
- Contact your local Title 2 funding distribution office and ask them for the details of the process in order to get a funding request approved (deadlines and details to submit, etc.).
- Send an email to support@classicalu.com if you need any materials from us as a part of putting together this funding request (such as a price quote or a list of available courses, etc.).
- Apply for funding with your local agency and await approval.
- Send an email to support@classicalu.com with a note about the funding approval and the contact information for your Title 2 funding contact so that we can set up your subscriptions and arrange for payment from your Title 2 funding office.
