The framework primarily serves educational and research purposes, where it is often important to identify groups of roughly comparable institutions. The classification includes all accredited, degree-granting colleges and universities in the United States that are represented in the National Center for Education Statistics Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.
“…Title I (“Title One”), which is a provision of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act passed in 1965, is a program created by the U.S. Department of Education to distribute funding to schools and school districts with a high percentage of students from low-income families, with the intention to create programs that will better children who have special needs that without funding could not be properly supported.[5] Funding is distributed first to state educational agencies (SEAs) which then allocate funds to local educational agencies (LEA’s) which in turn dispense funds to public schools in need.[6] Title I also helps children from families that have migrated to the United States and youth from intervention programs who are neglected or at risk of abuse. The act allocates money for educational purposes for the next five fiscal years until it is reauthorized.[7] In addition, Title I appropriates money to the education system for the persecution of high retention rates of students and the improvement of schools; these appropriations are carried out for five fiscal years until reauthorization.[7][8]
Title I mandates services both to eligible public school students and eligible private school students.[6] This is outlined in section 1120 of Title I, Part A of the ESEA as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Title I states that it gives priority to schools that are in obvious need of funds, low-achieving schools, and schools that demonstrate a commitment to improving their education standards and test scores.
There are two types of assistance that can be provided by Title I funds.[6] The first is a “schoolwide program” in which schools can dispense resources in a flexible manner.[10] The second is a “targeted assistance program” which allows schools to identify students who are failing or at risk of failing.[6]
Assistance for school improvement includes government grants, allocations, and reallocations based on the school’s willingness to commit to improving their standing in the educational system. Each educational institution requesting these grants must submit an application that describes how these funds will be used in restructuring their school for academic improvement.[8]
Schools receiving Title I funding are regulated by federal legislation. Most recently, this legislation includes the No Child Left Behind Act, which was passed in 2001.[6] In the 2006–2007 school year, Title I provided assistance to over 17 million students who range from kindergarten through twelfth grade.[6] The majority of the funds (60%) were given to students between kindergarten through fifth grade.[6] The next highest group that received funding were students in sixth through eighth grade (21%).[6] Finally, 16% of the funds went to students in high school with 3% provided to students in preschool.[6]
“The Seven Liberal Arts” | Giovanni di Ser Giovanni Guidi
Life is not always a problem to be “solved” and in the economic realm there are some problems that can neither be solved by markets nor by the government. That gap can be filled by partially filled by non-profit (charitable) organizations — but not entirely as we shall see during today’s colloquium.
Join us today at 11 AM/ET when we review the economic activity of “niche verticals” in the education community domain. The surprising number of them; their appetite for money, their inspiration in political agendas and their claims of hegemony (found in the letters they write to legislators) provides insight into the competing requirements of a domain that is a “business” and a “culture”.
Unlike the economic activity of manufacturing and labor sector which have coalesced their lobbying into a few (less than 10) non-profits, the education industry has 1oo’s of these associations. Every branch and leg of a typical school district, college and university, has evolved a non-profit trade association. Maybe there are too many; maybe there are not enough. Maybe this is the normal course of leading practice discovery. We reflect upon these possibilities — and welcome others — for digital youth.
We have maintained this topic in our wheelhouse for many years because it offers insight into how redundancies in human resource management may chart a path toward lower cost.
