The Higher Education Coordinating Board administers the program, which the U.S. Dept. of Education pays for in accordance with Title II Part A of the No Child Left Behind Act.

For 2007-08, the board anticipates awarding about $1.1 million to support intensive professional development projects in reading, mathematics, and instructional leadership for teachers, paraprofessionals, and principals.
