Consolidated Programs

Consolidated Programs provide categorically defined funds from various federal and state programs to county offices, school districts, and charter schools throughout California. Program entitlements are determined by formulas contained in the laws that created the programs. ACOE Student Programs & Services is a recipient of a number of these programs, including:

Title I - Neglected and Delinquent Program

The Title I Neglected and Delinquent program provides federal assistance to youth in institutions and community day programs for neglected or delinquent youth for the purpose of improving educational services "so that such children and youth have the opportunity to meet the same challenging State content and student performance standards that all children in the State are expected to meet" (State Department of Education Guidelines).

Title II, Part A - Improving Teacher Quality

This program is designed to improve student achievement by elevating teacher and principal quality through recruitment, hiring, and retention strategies. The program was created due to research indicating that teacher quality is correlated with student academic achievement.
