School districts across the country are leveraging AI-powered teaching tools to enhance teaching and learning. With federal funding programs designed to support educational innovation, districts can use these resources to bring MagicSchool’s AI for educators into their classrooms. Understanding which funding sources are available and how they align with your district’s needs can help unlock new opportunities for educators and students alike.
1. Title I, Part A – Improving basic programs
Why: Title I aims to close achievement gaps and improve educational outcomes for students from low-income families.
How: Schools can use Title I funds to integrate MagicSchool into their instructional strategies, providing teaching tools to deliver differentiated, equitable learning experiences. MagicSchool’s ability to generate tailored lessons and assessments aligns with Title I goals of improving instruction and student engagement.
2. Title II, Part A – Supporting effective instruction
Why: This funding supports professional development and teacher effectiveness initiatives.
How: Districts can use Title II funds to provide educators with training on how to integrate AI-powered teaching tools like MagicSchool into their classrooms. This ensures teachers can effectively use AI to enhance instruction, reduce administrative workload, and improve student outcomes.
3. Title III – English Language acquisition
Why: Title III funding supports programs that help English learners (ELs) achieve language proficiency and academic success.
How: MagicSchool can assist educators in creating customized language support materials, generating differentiated instruction for EL students, and providing real-time scaffolding. Districts can use Title III funds to purchase MagicSchool as part of their broader EL instructional strategy.
4. Title IV, Part A – Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) Grant
Why: This flexible funding source supports technology integration, student well-being, and a well-rounded education.
How: Districts can leverage Title IV funds to implement MagicSchool as an innovative technology solution that enhances digital learning, personalizes instruction, and streamlines lesson planning. Because MagicSchool aligns with Title IV’s emphasis on digital learning and instructional support, it’s an eligible expense.
5. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Funds
Why: IDEA provides funding to support special education services and improve educational outcomes for students with disabilities.
How: MagicSchool can be used to create accessible, adaptive learning materials tailored to students with special needs. Districts can allocate IDEA funds to ensure educators have the AI-powered teaching tools necessary to support individualized education programs (IEPs) and differentiated instruction.
What about ESSER?
While the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund was a major funding source for technology and learning recovery, these funds expired in 2025, but extensions are available through 2026. If you still have access to these funds, now is the time to use them to invest in long-term solutions like MagicSchool before they disappear.
