Classroom set of novels not on the District’s required reading list

In general, items appearing in the District’s Supplies and Equipment Catalog are mostly general supplies and, therefore, cannot be funded with Title I resources. However, FSEP has identified a list of instructional tools in the General Stores Catalog that can be purchased under SIM with Title I funds. For a list of these items, please visit the FSEP or General Stores Distribution website. There is a review process for SIM items purchased with Title I funds and will require schools to upload the required Title I documentation in the Shopping Cart. Please see BUL-134711.0, Additional Review Process for Title I Expenditures for more information. E.
