Analysis by the Department of Public Instruction
The ESEA of 1965, as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110, NCLB), allows the department to submit a consolidated plan to obtain funds under many federal programs through a single application rather than through separate applications for each program. In order to reduce the state's administrative burden and meld the various federal programs into a more coherent strategy for improving education in Wisconsin, the department will submit a consolidated plan application to seek funds under the following programs:
Title I, Part A: Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies.
Title I, Part B, Subpart 3: Even Start Family Literacy.
Title I, Part C: Education of Migrant Children.
Title I, Part D: Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk.
Title I, Part F: Comprehensive School Reform.
Title II, Part A: Teacher and Principal Training and Recruiting Fund.
Title II, Part D: Enhancing Education through Technology.
Title III, Part A: English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement.
Title IV, Part A, Subpart 1: Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities.
Title IV, Part A, Subpart 2: Community Service Grants.
Title IV, Part B: 21st Century Community Learning Centers.
Title V, Part A: Innovative Programs.
Title VI, Part A, Improving Academic Achievement.
Title VI, Part B, Subpart 2: Rural and Low-Income Schools.
The department's consolidated plan must be received by the U.S. Department of Education no later than May 28, 2002. Written comments on the proposed consolidated state plan received by Mr. Thompson at the following address no later than May 17, 2002, will be given the same consideration as testimony presented at the hearing. Comments submitted via email will not be accepted as formal testimony.
