  Requirements for funding are based on the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, Title I, Part A, Section 1116 for Academic Assessment and Local Educational Agency and School Improvement. This funding is NOT for SURR schools. There should be a clear distinction between the technical assistance that a District provides to a Title I School in Need of Improvement and the actions a District must take against a Title I Corrective Action School. The Guidance referred to throughout these instructions is contained in the Federal government's document: USDE Guidance on the $225 Million Fiscal Year 2001-2002, Appropriations for School Improvement (MS Word format).
  
  
• No Child Left Behind
  On April 18, 2002, the New York State Education Department, in collaboration with the Board of Education of the City of New York and the New York City Regional School Support Center, sponsored an informational session on the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The NCLB provides significant changes to federal requirements, i.e., increased accountability for states, school districts and schools; greater choice for parents and students, particularly for those attending low-performing schools; a new focus on teacher quality; and more flexibility for states and districts.  The informational session was conducted by Leigh Manasevit from the firm of Brustein and Manasevit, and highlighted key Title I provisions in the Law and their implications for state and local implementation.
