The Resource Allocation Review is to be completed at the district central office by the District Leadership Team for any district with one or more Title I schools designated in need of Comprehensive or Targeted supports in the first year of designation. The review should be completed by the Superintendent, the School Business Official, and involve principals from schools with a designation. Results of the Resource Allocation Review will provide designated schools with Prioritized Inequity Data Statements to address any resource inequities when action planning.
The Resource Allocation Review must be submitted in the Consolidated Application for Support and Accountability (CASA), which is a secure application under the Iowa Education Portal. Instructions for CASA access can be found on the CASA web page. Please note that a team member with district level access to CASA will be required to submit.
