General education teachers have been laid off. If new Title I
positions are created, can we use these recovery dollars to rehire
those teachers into that new Title I position?

Yes. It is permissible to hire back a teacher as a supplemental Title I teacher.
These teachers may not be the teacher of record for any classroom. Districts also
have to adhere to the Title I Highly Qualified Requirements.
