Every year the Winooski School District receives federal money through several grants. One of those grants, the Consolidated Federal Programs (CFP), is designed to provide all children with significant opportunities to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education and close educational achievement gaps.
The US Department of Education divides the CFP into four parts or titles. Each Title has specific purposes and restrictions. I will explain those purposes and limitations below. However, I want to detail the amounts we receive for each of the four titles.
How WSD plans to spend federal funds this year.
