Rantoul City SD 137's meeting packet includes a request for annual approval of the Consolidated District Plan (CDP), which aligns multiple federal funding streams—Titles I, II, III, IV and IDEA—into a single plan to support district-wide goals for student achievement and equity. The agenda states that approval is required to submit the plan to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and to access related federal funds.
