Title II

History
Title II is a part of the original 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed it into law, who believed that "full educational opportunity" should be "our first national goal."[]

Purpose
The purpose of Title II is to provide local educational agencies that serve areas with low-income students with grants to expand and improve their programs that help to fill the needs of low-income, disadvantaged students.[]

Definitions/Requirements
The Commisioner, has to make payments to State edcuational agencies, who provides them as grants to local educational agencies. However, the Commissioner has the jurisdiction to determine how much money is allotted to the state agencies. State agencies decide how much local agencies need to be granted to them.

If a educational agency is not performing well, in terms of providing opportunities and resources, and improving education for disadvantaged students, the Commissioner has the right to notify the educational agency that payments will no longer be made until the Commissioner decides the agency has begun to perform well.

Apart of Title II required the President to appoint a National Advisory Council on the Education of Disadvantaged Children. The purpose of the advisory council was to review the administration and operation of Title II and evaluating how effective the title is in improving the education of disadvantaged students and make recommendations on how to improve the Title, its administration and operation.
