Title II, Part A Use of Funds Surveys

Section 2104 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act requires each State educational agency (SEA) that receives a Title II, Part A grant to report annually to the Department of Education on how the State is uses program funds. The Department collects this information in annual use of funds surveys. Each SEA receives a survey that addresses how Title II, Part A funds that remain with the SEA for State-level use are spent. In addition, a sample of over 5,000 school districts receive a survey that addresses how Title II, Part A funds that are awarded to school districts are used; the district sample is both nationally representative and representative at the individual State level, making cross-State comparisons possible. Below are the survey instruments for the current school year as well as reports on the results of surveys from prior years.
