• Identifies eligibility based on statutory formulas
• Distributes funds based on poverty rates, however, the children that benefit from the program(s) are not necessarily students in poverty.
• Addresses the needs of a school's lowest-performing students and students most at risk for not meeting Colorado English Language Proficiency (CELP) and Colorado Academic Standards (CAS)
