“Flexibility Partnerships”

To ensure that Federal funds are used most effectively to meet students’ unique needs:

  • States and local school districts can coordinate efforts through state-local “flexibility partnerships.”
  • Each participating state can work with up to 10 participating local school districts.
  • Both the state and the participating school districts within that state will have new flexibility to address students’ needs jointly.
