Funds are allocated using US Census data (80% based on poverty, 20% based on population) and flow through the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) to LEAs. Allowable uses include recruiting, hiring, and retaining effective teachers and school leaders; high-quality professional learning; induction programs; feedback mechanisms for school working conditions; educator evaluation and support systems; class-size reduction; leadership development; and other evidence-based activities. LEAs must prioritize funds for schools identified for comprehensive and targeted support and improvement, provide equitable services to eligible non-public school teachers, and ensure funds supplement rather than supplant state or local resources.
