Title II, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act

Title II, Part A of the “Every Student Succeeds Act” (ESSA) contains programs used to improve teacher and principal quality. Funds of this Title have traditionally been focused on professional development. The use of funds in Title II, Part A may primarily be used for the purposes of: 1) The recruitment of teachers, principals, and other school leaders; 2) The training and retaining of teachers, principals, and other school leaders; Through the elimination of “core academic subjects,” and the inclusion of a “well-rounded education,” music and arts educators have an expanded allowable use of Title II funds for these kinds of activities.
