G = Graded; U = Ungraded. 12In Indiana and Alabama, the numbers of programs identified are for 2002-03. The numbers do not count in the U.S. total. Alabama identifies at-risk or low-performing program areas by institution (such as science education) instead of at-risk or low-performing institutions overall. 13State does not allow teachers with out-of-field permits or emergency licenses to be employed in failing schools or those that receive Title I aid. 14While Nebraska sets a limit on out-of-field teaching, that limit is high. | |||||
