The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) emphasizes equal access to education, sets high standards for academic performance, and demands a rigorous level of accountability from schools and districts. ESEA authorizes an important group of education programs administered by the states. These programs provide supplemental support to eligible schools and districts to raise the academic achievement of struggling learners and address the complex challenges that arise among students who live with disability, mobility problems, learning difficulties, poverty, transience, and the need to learn a second language.
Title I, II, and IV Supplemental Funds – Response Required
The NDDPI has the opportunity to redistribute additional 2024-2025 funding to LEAs as follows:
| Federal Program | Amount of 2024-2025 Funding | Rationale |
| Title I | $631,644.00 | Reallocated Title I Funds |
| Title II | $2,035.00 | Revised SEA allocation |
| Title IV | $42,289.00 | Revised SEA allocation |
The allocation process requires the NDDPI to distribute the funds using the allocation formula associated with the allocation year. It is important to note that these 2024-2025 funds have a project end date of September 30, 2026.
This chart outlines each district’s share of the revised amounts for each program listed above. The NDDPI has created a survey for each LEA to record its intent to accept or decline these supplemental funds.
Responses must be submitted by November 19, 2025. Any district not responding through the survey prior to this date indicates that their portion of funding has been relinquished.
