States Get More Flexibility, Too

  • Current law requires state activity funds (Federal funds held at the state level) to be used for specific purposes.
  • States are allowed to make spending decisions with up to 50 percent of their state activity funds under No Child Left Behind.
  • New state flexibility applies to teacher quality, technology, after-school learning, Safe and Drug Free Schools, and the Innovative Programs grant.
