Introduction

On November 6, 2003, the U.S. Department of Education granted the Seattle Public Schools "local flexibility authority".

  • The District is the first and only district in the nation to receive such authority under Title VI of the No Child Left Behind Act.
  • The Plan allows the District to consolidate specific federal formula grant funds to meet local priorities.
  • The intent of the District's Plan is to improve the quality of teaching and learning such that all students will meet or exceed Washington State standards of performance.
