Priority is given to Instruction in math. science. and foreign languages. Under this reauthorization. these populations and subjects will remain the focus of the program. and the bill retains the existing requirement that 50 percent of star schools funds be used for grades K to 12 in chapter 1 schools. and for teacher training. However. this bill adds language permitting funds to also be used to serve other populations with limited access to instructional opportunities. such as disabled children and adults who may be homebound. hospitalbound or in institutions. illiterate adults. and limited English proficient individuals. including immigrants. Funds could also be used to serve those in correctional or other State facilities. This expansion will encourage networks to maximize use of equipment and facilities.
