The high level difference in these funds compared to the traditional Title I funds is that the ARRA guidance asks to improve education for academically at-risk students and to close achievement gaps for students in Title I schools by serving more students under Title I-A and to boost the quality of Title I services. This is the second 50% of the total ARRA Title I part A funds that are earmarked. $5B is to be distributed on 30 Sep 2009.
