Title II is to designed to improve the quality, quantity, and effectiveness of educators and leaders, and provide low-income and minority students greater access to effective educators. Ultimately, the goal is to increase student achievement of academic standards by ensuring equitable access to effective teachers, especially for underrepresented groups.. Title II funds are awarded to SEAs based on a formula that compares the number of school-aged children in the state and the percentage that are from low-income families. SEAs then allocate the funds to LEAs based on need.
