Flexibility
- ESEA Flexibility: http://www/ed/gov/esea/flexibility
- Schoolwide programs: A Title I school may operate as a schoolwide program if a minimum of 40 percent of the students in the school, or residing in the attendance area served by the school, are from low-income families. A schoolwide program is a comprehensive reform strategy designed to upgrade the entire educational program in a Title I school; its primary goal is to ensure that all students, particularly those who are low-achieving, demonstrate proficient and advanced levels of achievement on State academic achievement standards.
- Waivers of ESEA Requirements: Under section 9401 of the ESEA, the Secretary has discretion to grant waivers of ESEA statutory and regulatory requirements, except as provided in section 9401(c). Under section 9401 of the ESEA, a State educational agency (SEA), LEA, Indian tribe, or school that receives ESEA funds may apply for a waiver of certain ESEA statutory and regulatory requirements. A school that desires a waiver must submit its request for the waiver through its LEA.
