New TFP publication: Using Title I to Support Out-of-School Time

[Wright, Elisabeth]

As promised, we have posted our newest strategy brief on using Title I on
our web page, which will be available in print within a week.

"Using Title I to Support Out-of-School Time and Community School
Initiatives" (January 2002).
http://www.financeproject.org/Brief10.htm
Title I, the largest single federal investment in education, now provides
$10.3 billion annually (an increase of $1.6 billion over last year's
appropriation) to school systems across the country. This brief presents an
overview of the program, including recent legislative changes, and
highlights three strategies that community leaders, program developers and
school officials can employ to access these funds to support out-of-school
time and community school initiatives.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
