TRUMP PROVIDES A FEW SPECIFICS ON EDUCATION POLICY: Does he support Title I portability? Good question and thoughtful commentary by Jason Russell.

Excerpt:

Trump’s plan echoes the idea of what in the education policy world is called “Title I portability.” In federal education legislation, Title I funding provides states and school districts with extra funding if they have a disproportionately high number of students living in poverty. The federal government spends roughly $14 billion a year on Title I, or about $500 to $600 per student. If those funds were portable, it would mean students would have several hundred dollars to use toward their education at a school other than the local school they’re assigned to.
