Grants and Other Financial Assistance Programs: FY2006
Title V: Innovative Programs
Fund Code: 302
| Purpose: | The federal Innovative Programs formula grant supports education reform efforts; innovation based on scientific research; the purchase of instructional, library, and media materials; and the implementation of programs to improve student, teacher, and school performance. |
| Priorities: | The priorities for the use of Title V funds are to:
assist with local education reform efforts that are consistent with and support the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks; provide funding to enable school districts to implement promising educational reform programs and school improvement programs based on scientific research; provide a continuing source of innovation and educational improvement, including support programs to provide library services and instructional and media materials; meet the educational needs of all students, including at-risk and homeless students; and develop and implement education programs to improve student, teacher, and school performance, including professional development activities and class size reduction programs. |
| Eligibility: | Funds are awarded to each school district based on the community's K-12 enrollment combined with the enrollment of private non-profit schools in the community that participated in Title V the prior year, with an adjustment to provide higher per-pupil allocations to school districts that have the greatest percentages of students from economically disadvantaged families. |
| Funding: | The amount of funds for which the school district may apply will be sent in a separate mailing. |
| Fund Use: | Districts have discretion in determining how funds are distributed among the areas of innovative assistance outlined in the statistical section of the application. Funds must be used to supplement, and not supplant, any other federal, state, or local education funds. |

PLEASE NOTE:
Enrollment figures for private, nonprofit schools that participated in Title V the prior year are used in the calculations of Title V allocations. A private, non-profit school is able to participate in Title V in any given year even if it did not participate the prior year. It is recommended that districts encourage all private, non-profit schools to participate. SEC. 5112 (c) (1) (B) Districts receiving Title V allocations will be required to submit year-end summary and evaluation information, including data on student and staff participation numbers. Details regarding this submission will be sent to districts before the end of FY2006. Release of FY2007 district funds may be subject to meeting year-end reporting requirements.
