Title II-A Formula Grants
Title II, Part A, Teacher and Principal Training and Recruiting is a federal categorical program that combines
the former Title II Eisenhower Professional Development and Title VI Federal Class-Size Reduction into one
program. The purpose of Title II is to increase the academic achievement of all students by helping schools
and districts (1) improve teacher and principal quality through professional development and other activities
and (2) ensure all teachers are highly qualified. Most California school districts are entitled to annual funding
based on a formula that includes poverty and population data. Annual entitlements for districts may be found at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/titleii.asp
-- select the appropriate funding year and click on Funding Results,
then on the "Schedule" under Entitlements on the next page. The schedule is listed in county order, and all
districts for the state are listed. These funds may be used for the same purposes as the Improving Teacher
Quality State Grants and may be used to augment state grant funds.
