General Education Initiatives K-12 but emphasis on K-3 Academic or Behavioral

Support Professional Development

Any district that receives IDEA funds must reserve 15% of the Section 619 (preschool)/Section 611 (flowthrough) funds for coordinated early intervening services.

• If 619 funds are used for CEIS, then those activities supported with the 619 amount may ONLY be used for kindergarten activities (not preschool).
