Within our school district, Title IIA Funds are used for class-size reduction.
Various types of training initiatives are supported. For instance, teachers may request to attend a conference through a professional organization, like the Pennsylvania Teachers of Mathematics or one of the many trainings offered regionally at Armstrong-Indiana Intermediate Unit 28 or through the University of Pittsburgh Tri-State School Study Council or IUP. Funds also support curriculum revitalization initiatives.
