Your district already has the money for Parthion.

Parthion is a coordinated early intervening services (CEIS) platform under 34 CFR Section 300.226. That makes it purchasable with IDEA Part B CEIS and CCEIS set-aside dollars, and braidable with Title I, Part A, Title II, Part A, and Title IV, Part A. Four federal streams. One platform. No new local dollars required.

MTSS dashboards compete for discretionary dollars. Parthion doesn't.

A business intelligence license is a general-purpose analytics purchase. An MTSS visualization tool is a nice-to-have that gets cut in a tight budget year. Neither is what IDEA Part B early intervening services dollars are written to buy.

IDEA Part B CEIS funds pay for exactly two things: professional development that enables staff to deliver scientifically based academic and behavioral interventions, and educational and behavioral evaluations, services, and supports. Parthion delivers both, as its core product, not as an add-on.

The practical consequence: Parthion is bought out of a dedicated federal set-aside that a Director of Special Education already controls, on an obligation clock that runs 27 months. It is not a line item that has to survive a discretionary budget fight against five other vendors.

Why Parthion qualifies as CEIS

34 CFR Section 300.226 authorizes an LEA to use up to 15 percent of its Part B funds for coordinated early intervening services for students in kindergarten through grade 12, with particular emphasis on K-3, who are not currently identified as needing special education but who need additional academic and behavioral support to succeed in general education. That is a precise description of Parthion's Tier 1 and Tier 2 population.

34 CFR Section 300.226(b)(1)

"Professional development (which may be provided by entities other than LEAs) for teachers and other school staff to enable such personnel to deliver scientifically based academic and behavioral interventions, including scientifically based literacy instruction, and, where appropriate, instruction on the use of adaptive and instructional software."

Parthion Professional Development

  • Tiered instruction and intervention-selection institutes for general and special educators
  • Progress-monitoring decision rules: how to read a trend line and when to change the plan
  • PLAAFP construction and measurable annual goal writing
  • Inclusive practice and co-teaching for the 87% of students with IEPs who spend most of the day in general education
  • Platform training on adaptive and instructional software, named explicitly in the regulation

34 CFR Section 300.226(b)(2)

"Providing educational and behavioral evaluations, services, and supports, including scientifically based literacy instruction."

The Parthion Platform

  • Evaluations: universal screening, academic and behavioral risk identification, early warning indicators across attendance, behavior, and achievement
  • Services: AI-generated intervention plans matched to tier, with the evidence base cited and dosage, frequency, and responsible staff specified
  • Supports: real-time session attendance, fidelity and delivery-rate tracking, week-over-week progress against goal lines, automated decision-rule alerts
  • Documentation: the child-level record CEIS reporting requires, produced as a by-product of doing the work

When CEIS stops being optional

If your LEA is identified with significant racial or ethnic disproportionality in identification, placement, or discipline, the state must require you to reserve the maximum amount of Part B funds for comprehensive coordinated early intervening services. At that point the 15 percent is no longer a choice, it is a mandate with an audit trail attached.

15%

Mandatory reservation

States must require identified LEAs to reserve the maximum amount under section 613(f) for comprehensive CEIS.

34 CFR Section 300.646(d)

Age 3-12

Full span, all students

CCEIS funds may serve children from age 3 through grade 12. An LEA may not limit comprehensive CEIS to children with disabilities.

34 CFR Section 300.646(d)(2)-(3)

2 years

Longitudinal reporting

LEAs must report the number of children who received CEIS and how many subsequently received special education within two years.

34 CFR Section 300.226(d)

Three requirements a spreadsheet cannot satisfy. CCEIS obligates you to identify and address the factors contributing to disproportionality, to serve all students, not just those with IEPs, and to track child-level outcomes for two years after service. Parthion's disproportionality monitoring, Whole Child Plans for every student, and longitudinal student record do all three natively. That is the compliance case, and it is also the product.

Where the money comes from

Districts rarely fund Parthion from a single source. The strongest applications braid two or three, each paying for the portion of the platform that falls squarely inside its own allowable uses.

Primary source

IDEA, Part B

Up to 15% of Sections 611 & 619 allocations

The CEIS set-aside is the cleanest path to a signed contract. Voluntary CEIS serves students not yet identified for special education; comprehensive CEIS, required when significant disproportionality is identified, serves students with and without disabilities.

  • Platform license as educational and behavioral evaluations, services, and supports
  • Professional development for general and special education staff
  • Disproportionality monitoring and CEIS child-count reporting
  • Child Find automation and IEP compliance workflow

Title I, Part A

Schoolwide & targeted assistance

The Department's schoolwide guidance names data systems for early identification as an eligible use in language that reads like a Parthion product description.

  • Equipment, materials, and training needed to compile and analyze student achievement data to monitor progress, alert the school to struggling students, and drive decision making
  • Response-to-intervention strategies intended to allow for early identification of students with learning or behavioral needs and to provide a tiered response
  • Comprehensive needs assessment data and school improvement planning

Professional learning

Title II, Part A

Parthion PD & coaching

Title II-A is the natural home for every dollar of Parthion professional development, institute delivery, and job-embedded coaching.

  • Evidence-based PD on using data to improve student achievement and integrating technology into instruction (Section 2103(b)(3)(E)(i)-(ii))
  • Programs that increase teachers' ability to effectively teach children with disabilities, including through multi-tiered systems of support and PBIS (Section 2103(b)(3)(F))
  • Training and capacity-building on selecting assessments and using assessment data to improve instruction (Section 2103(b)(3)(H))

Title IV, Part A

SSAE - technology & healthy students

The Student Support and Academic Enrichment block grant reaches Parthion through two of its three content areas at once.

  • Effective Use of Technology: software and platforms enabling personalized learning pathways, plus educator PD on digital tools
  • Safe and Healthy Students: behavioral risk identification, mental and behavioral health referral workflow, and school climate data
  • Parthion is software and professional learning, not devices or wiring, so it sits outside the 15% cap on equipment and infrastructure

ESEA Sections 4106, 4107, 4108, 4109

The evidence tier your consolidated application asks for

Title I, Part A, Title II, Part A, and Title IV, Part A each carry an evidence requirement. Parthion meets the fourth evidence tier under ESEA Section 8101(21)(A)(ii), on the strength of a published logic model informed by research and an ongoing study of student outcomes. A district that funds a Tier IV intervention under any of those three programs has met the ESSA evidence requirement for that program.

Title I, Part A

Tier IV allowable

Title II, Part A

Tier IV allowable

Title IV, Part A

Tier IV allowable

Tier IV requires a rationale grounded in high-quality research findings and ongoing efforts to examine the effects of the intervention. Parthion publishes both. The logic model and the study design behind the claim are documented in our ESSA evidence packet, available on request.

Section 1003 school improvement funds require Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III evidence. A Tier IV claim does not support a Section 1003 purchase. Parthion's primary funding path is the IDEA Part B early intervening services set-aside under 34 CFR Section 300.226, which runs on the IDEA allowability standard and does not depend on an ESSA evidence tier.

Frequently asked

34 CFR Section 300.226(b)(2) authorizes CEIS funds for "educational and behavioral evaluations, services, and supports." Nothing in the regulation limits that to personnel. Parthion performs the evaluation function through universal screening and risk identification, delivers the service through generated intervention plans, and provides the support through fidelity and progress monitoring.

Section 300.226(b)(1) separately names "instruction on the use of adaptive and instructional software" as an allowable professional development activity, so the regulation contemplates software directly.
