Categories
There are six program categories in the State Chapter 1 Design — Category I, Early Childhood; Category II, Reduced Class Size; Category II, Enrichment; Category IV, Improvement of Attendance; Category V, Remedial/Supportive Education; and Category VI, Other Educationally Beneficial Programs.
The following is an explanation of the codes for the column titled "Other Expenditures," which will be used to complete the description of a supplementary program: E = Equipment; M - Maintenance Agreement; IM = Instructional Materials; S = Supplies; F = Buses for Field Trips within Chicago's City limits only; A = Admission Fees; P = Parent Stipends; C = Consultant Services; SS = Substitute Services; T = Travel (Object 5500) for trips beyond Chicago's City limited for students, parents or teachers.

Program 6202 - Grade 1-3
This program is designed to allow local school to reduce the number of students being served in one or more regular self-contained classrooms in grades 1 through 3.

These learning experiences may include individualized instruction, greater time-on-task for students, and/or flexible and diversified groupings.
Reduced class size may be achieved through a variety of educational approaches, such as using State Chapter 1 funded teachers with other funded teachers or by using State Chapter 1 funded teachers with ancillary personnel, e.g., school or instructor assistants. Instructional support staff and parent or community volunteers may be provided to assist the teacher but may not be used to reduce class size. Supplemental instruction materials, equipment, field trip costs, admission fees, supplies, and other supplementary items and/or services related to this program may be purchased, except for capital expenditures.
