Following enactment of the 2002-2003 State budget, the New York State Education Department
received questions regarding the comparability requirement under Title I, Part A of the No
Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001. This memorandum provides guidance in meeting this
federal obligation in light of the fact that no school districts were required to set
aside funds (Education Law §3602 [12] [g]) in the 2002-2003 school year. Click here for the

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. To view the MS PowerPoint presentation shown at
