Vermont schools are facing unprecedented workforce shortages. This document is intended as a guide for the use of Title I, Part A and Title II, Part A funds to support a variety of strategies for recruiting, retaining, and increasing students’ access to effective educators. Title I, Part A is addressed first, Title II, Part A second. Although there is significant overlap between the allowable uses for recruitment and retention of effective educators between these two titles, there are also differences that warrant discussing them separately below.
