# Introduction

This report presents data on the distribution of federal education funds
to school districts and other entities,[^1] as mandated under Sec. 424,
subsection (a) of the *General Education Provisions Act (GEPA),*
referred to herein as *GEPA* 424. See Appendix A for the appropriate
citation mandating this data collection.

This data collection includes most of the programs administered by the
U.S. Department of Education (the Department) that support elementary
and secondary education. That is, programs included are those defined
under *GEPA* 424 as direct grants awarded by the federal government to
local education agencies (LEAs), federal programs administered by state
education agencies (SEAs), and federal programs that provide funds to
school districts that are administered by other state agencies. Most of
these programs are authorized under the *Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA)*, as reauthorized by the *No Child Left Behind Act
of 2001 (NCLB),* but the data collection also includes programs
authorized by other acts, such as the *Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA)*, the *Higher Education Act (HEA)*, the *Carl D.
Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act*, and the *Adult
Education and Family Literacy Act of 1998*.

In order to enhance readability, this report focuses primarily on FY
2003 distribution data. This appropriation year generally corresponds to
the 2003--04 school year and is the most recent year for which data are
available. A set of tables for FY 2002 (corresponding to the 2002--03
school year) is located in Appendix B of this report.

The *GEPA* 424 data collected through the reporting requirement is
presented in this report in three chapters. The first chapter provides a
brief introduction as well as a description of key terms and methodology
used during the data collection as well as throughout this report.
Chapter 2 describes the programs included in the *GEPA* 424 reporting
requirement for FY 2002 and FY 2003. Chapter 3 presents summary
information on the distribution of these funds, including the number of
agencies receiving funds from each program, the types of agencies
receiving funds, the size of distributions, and the distribution of
funds to school districts by poverty level and urbanicity. While this
chapter focuses primarily on FY 2003 data, it also includes brief
discussions of changes from previous years.

Complete data files for all reporting years (from FY 1992 through FY
2003) containing the distributions from each program are available upon
request.[^2]

**Data Collection Methodology and Definitions of Key Terms**

The goal of the *GEPA* 424 data collection is to determine how the
program funds appropriated for a given fiscal year were distributed
among school districts and other entities. The distribution information
collected under this mandate differs from revenues, expenditures,
obligations, or outlays, all of which typically are reported with
respect to the year the recipient used the funds, rather than the year
of the appropriation.

For most of the programs pertinent to *GEPA* 424, funds are available
for obligation by the recipient for up to 27 months, although they are
intended for use primarily during the school year following the federal
fiscal year in which the funds are appropriated.[^3] For the FY 2003
appropriation year, for example, states made allocations through Sept.
30, 2005, which means that FY 2003 is the most recent year for which
complete information is available. The FY 2005 *GEPA* 424 report
(providing distribution information for the FY 2004 and FY 2005
appropriation years) will be available in spring 2008.

Distribution data collected under *GEPA* 424 are obtained from two
sources, based on how the funds are distributed. Direct federal program
funds are awarded directly to LEAs and other recipients by the
Department. For these programs, the distribution information used in
this report is obtained from the Department's Grant Administration and
Payment System (GAPS) database. For the state-administered programs,
states make the award determinations and distribute the funds to LEAs
and other recipients based on the requirements specific to each program.
For these programs, state agencies are asked to submit a list of all of
the distributions from their federal allocation for each program
included under *GEPA* 424. State agencies in this data collection
include SEAs, as well as other agencies that administer these programs.
For instance, in many states, the Adult Education--Basic Grants to
States program is administered by an office outside the state department
of education. This data collection includes all 50 states, as well as
the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.[^4]

The data collection also captures funds that state agencies either
retain at the state level for program administration and other
state-level activities or that are distributed by the Department for
state activities. States' uses of these funds vary by program, but may
include activities such as technical assistance, professional
development, development of standards and assessments, curriculum
development, program evaluation, development of accountability systems,
and direct services for children in state institutions. Funds may be
retained by the state agency that administers the program, or in some
cases the administering agency may distribute some funds to other state
agencies that provide services.

Throughout the instructional materials sent to states for the *GEPA* 424
data collection, the following definitions of terms are used:

-   **Allocation.** The total amount of funds that the federal
    government provided to each SEA or LEA from a particular federal
    fiscal year appropriation.

-   **Distribution.** The *GEPA* 424 reporting requirement covers a wide
    variety of state-administered and direct federal programs that
    utilize numerous mechanisms to distribute the funds. In order to
    increase report readability, the term "distribution" is used
    throughout to refer to any of these activities. However, depending
    upon the nature of the program, the funds may technically be
    provided through one of the following means:

    -   **Suballocation.** For formula grant programs, a suballocation
        is the amount of funds from a state's allocation that the state
        plans to disburse to one or more subgrantees over the entire
        period that the funds are available. Depending on the program,
        funds may be allocated through a statutory formula or through
        competitive grants.

    -   **Contract.** Contracts can be awarded on a competitive basis or
        as a sole source award but generally are an agreement that the
        service provider will deliver certain goods or services in
        exchange for compensation.

    -   **Grant.** A grant is an agreement that provides financial
        assistance to support a public purpose. These agreements have a
        loosely defined scope of work and the sponsor usually requires
        annual, final or both, reports documenting the progress of the
        grant. Grants are normally awarded by sponsors whose purpose in
        supporting research is scientific, cultural, or philanthropic.

-   **Reporting period.** For federal FY 2002 funds, distributions are
    reported as of Sept. 30, 2004. For federal FY 2003 funds,
    distributions are reported as of Sept. 30, 2005.

-   **Carryover.** In working with states to obtain their data, they are
    instructed to exclude funds carried over from previous years in the
    distribution figures they report for any given fiscal year. For
    example, this means that the FY 2003 amounts that they submit for a
    program should never exceed the federal appropriation to their state
    for that program. In states which operate on a first in-first out
    funding basis, the states are asked to remove carryover funds from
    their reported figures by prorating the carryover amount across all
    recipients to provide the best approximation possible of the
    distribution of funds for the specific fiscal year in question.

**Distinguishing Between Distribution Values of Zero Versus Less Than
0.5 Percent**

Within tables, a distinction is made between a zero and a value of less
than 0.5. Zeros in a table cell indicate that there were no
distributions fitting that criteria. There are a small number of cells
in each table that have a footnote notation instead of a value,
indicating that the percentage in that cell was less than 0.5 percent.
In these instances, the distributions fit that criteria, but the
calculated percentage would round to zero if not replaced by the
footnote.

# Programs Included in the *GEPA* 424 Data Collection for FY 2002 and FY 2003

The *GEPA* 424 data collection for FY 2002 and FY 2003 includes 62
federal education programs, as shown in table 2.1. This table lists the
*Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA)* number for each
program as well as the federal appropriation for that program for each
of the reporting years.[^5]

Overall, the programs included in the *GEPA* 424 data collection were
funded at \$34.4 billion in FY 2003, up 9 percent from \$31.5 billion in
FY 2002.

Given the large number of programs covered in this data collection, the
programs are grouped in each table according to law under which the
program was authorized and alphabetically within each grouping. While
the largest group of programs fall under *ESEA*, there are also separate
groupings for the categories *HEA*, *IDEA*, and Other. All tables
throughout the report present the programs in this order.

![](media/image2.wmf)Ninety-one percent of the program funds covered
under *GEPA* 424 are "state-administered." (See fig. 1.) That is, for
these programs, the Department allocates funds to the states, which in
turn distribute the funds to school districts and other agencies. For
some programs, states are required to distribute the funds in accordance
with formulas set forth in the authorizing statute, while other programs
award funds through competitive grants or other discretionary processes.
For the direct federal programs, the Department distributes the funds
directly to school districts and other recipients through grants or
contracts. Table 2.1 indicates, for each of the programs covered under
*GEPA* 424, whether the program is state-administered or distributed
through direct federal programs.

^[a]{.underline}/^ Most of the programs covered under *GEPA* 424 are
administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education within
the Department. Programs administered by other offices in the Department
of Education include: Special Education Grants to States administered by
the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS);
GEAR UP administered by the Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE),
Adult Education---Basic Grants to States administered by the Office of
Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE), Safe and Drug Free Schools and
Communities administered by the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools
(OSDFS), and Language Instruction for Limited English Proficient and
Immigrant Students administered by the Office of English Language
Acquisition (OELA).

^[b]{.underline}/^ The CFDA Number is listed first for orientation
purposes only. Programs are presented in alphabetical order by program
title and organized by the law under which program was authorized.

^[c]{.underline}/^ The 21st Century Community Learning Centers program
was in transition for the FY 2003 appropriation year. For this year, a
portion of the program funds were distributed to recipients as a
state-administered program with the remaining funds distributed as a
direct federal program. For the remaining tables in the body of this
report, the distribution information for the state-administered and
direct federal portions of the program are shown separately.

^[d]{.underline}/^ The funding amounts shown in this table for
Comprehensive School Reform (84.332) reflect funding provided under two
authorities.

^[e]{.underline}/^ Program only funded through FY 2003.

^[f]{.underline}/^ The funding status for the Native Hawaiians Education
Program changed with FY 2002. Starting with this year, the following
separate programs were consolidated into this single program including
84.209A (Native Hawaiians Family-Based Education Centers), 84.210
(Native Hawaiians Gifted and Talented Program), 84.296A (Native
Hawaiians Community-Based Education Learning Centers Program) and 84.316
(Native Hawaiians Higher Education Program) of OPE.

Changes in Distribution of State-administered Programs Versus Direct
Federal Programs From Previous Years

![](media/image2.wmf)

Since FY 1998 (the first year the *GEPA* 424 data collection included
direct federal programs), the vast majority of funds have been
distributed to recipients through state-administered programs. The
percentage of funds distributed through this type of program has ranged
from a minimum of 83 percent in FY 2001 to a maximum of 91 percent in FY
2003. (See fig. 2.)

# Analysis of the Distribution of Federal Education Program Funds 

This chapter presents summary information regarding the distribution of
the funds reported under *GEPA* 424 for FY 2003. Data analyses include:
the amount of funds used at the state level, the share distributed to
school districts and to other agencies that provide services, the size
of the funds distributions, and the distribution of funds to school
districts by poverty level and degree of urbanicity.

Total Number of Recipients Funded, by Program

The number of recipients receiving funding as shown in table 3.1
reflects those agencies that received program funds from the states or
from the Department directly. Table 3.1 indicates that some formula
grant programs, such as Improving Teacher Quality State Grants,
Innovative Programs, Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities: State
Grants, Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education Agencies,
and Special Education Grants to States, have the highest number of
recipients. While programs designed to target specific populations, such
as programs for Native Hawaiians, have the fewest.

Some school districts receiving program funds are not included in these
totals because they received funds through a regional education agency
or a consortia of school districts. For example, for programs
administered under *IDEA* some states distribute funds to regional
agencies and consortia of school districts, rather than directly to
individual school districts. The regional agencies, in turn, distribute
the funds to school districts. For these reasons, the total number of
recipients shown in table 3.1 may appear lower than expected for some
programs.

### Funds Used at the State Level 

Most federal funds for elementary and secondary education flow through
state-administered programs; program statutes permit states to retain a
portion of the funds for program administration and other state-level
activities. These state-level activities vary by program but may include
services and activities, such as technical assistance, professional
development, development of standards and assessments, program
evaluation, and development of accountability systems. In some cases,
the SEA responsible for administering the program may distribute some of
the funds to other state agencies that provide program services, such as
state correctional institutions that provide education services for
inmates or health departments that provide services to preschool
children.

-   Across all of the programs included in this data collection, 6
    percent of FY 2003 funds were distributed to state agencies for
    state-level activities.

-   Among the state-administered programs, a relatively large proportion
    of funds was used at the state level for Prevention and Intervention
    Programs for Children and Youths Who Are Neglected, Delinquent or
    At-Risk (70 percent) and Grants for State Assessments (61
    percent).[^6]

Changes in Funds at the State Level From Previous Years

The overall percentage of funds used at the state level (across all
*GEPA* 424 related programs) has remained fairly constant over the past
six years. This percentage ranged from a low of 4 percent in FY 1999 to
8 percent in FY 2000 through FY 2003.

Source: The distribution information shown in this table came from two
sources. Distributions for state-administered programs was provided by
the individual SEAs. Distributions for direct federal programs came from
the Department's Grant Administration and Payment System (GAPS)
database.

Note: The total number of recipients may appear lower than expected for
some programs (such as programs administered under *IDEA*), as school
districts can receive funds through a regional education agency or a
consortia of school districts thereby reducing the total number of
recipients reported by states.

^[a]{.underline}/^ This figure includes *all* disbursements reported by
the states for these individual programs, including funds retained at
the state level.

^[b]{.underline}/^ The category \"other\" includes all distributions
made to institutions, libraries, and other agencies.

^[c]{.underline}/^ The 21st Century Community Learning Centers program
was in transition for the FY 2003 appropriation year. For this year, a
portion of the program funds was distributed to recipients as a
state-administered program with the remaining funds distributed as a
direct federal program. In this and all other tables in this report, the
distribution information for this program shows the state-administered
and direct federal distributions separately.

Share of Funds Distributed to School Districts and Other Types of
Agencies

School districts received a majority of the funds from the federal
elementary and secondary education programs included in the *GEPA* 424
data collection. (See table 3.1 and fig. 3.)

-   ![](media/image2.wmf)Across all of the programs included in this
    report, 87 percent of the FY 2003 funds were distributed to school
    districts. When state-administered and direct federal funds are
    viewed separately, school districts received 88 percent and 81
    percent of funds, respectively. This discrepancy in the distribution
    reflects the fact that while most state-administered programs are
    designed to provide funds directly to schools districts, many of the
    direct federal programs provide funds to state-level programs, such
    as teacher training and state assessment development

-   Overall, the share of funds that reached local service providers,
    including school districts, colleges and universities, and community
    organizations, averaged 94 percent across all programs.

**Highlights by Program**

Some programs are not intended to provide funds only to school districts
because other entities also may provide services and may be more
appropriate providers for some groups. For example, vocational education
and adult education programs are often offered through community
colleges and other postsecondary institutions, as well as at secondary
schools. Frequently distribution of funds to service providers other
than school districts reflects the statutory requirements governing the
distribution of these funds. For example, the Even Start Family Literacy
program (Title I, Part B, of *ESEA*) requires that the local subgrantee
be in a partnership between one or more LEAs and one or more other
entities.

-   School districts received nearly all (95 to 100 percent) of the
    funds appropriated in FY 2003 for the following programs: School
    Dropout Prevention Programs; Bilingual Education Comprehensive
    School Grants; English Language Acquisition Program Development and
    Implementation Grants; Bilingual Education Systemwide Improvement
    Grants; Foreign Language Assistance Program; Impact Aid, Basic
    Support Payments and Payments for Children with Disabilities; Impact
    Aid, Facilities Maintenance; Indian Education---Formula Grants to
    Local Education Agencies; Magnet Schools Assistance; Native
    Hawaiians Special Education; Rural and Low-Income Schools Grant
    Program, and Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education
    Agencies (Title I, Part A).

-   School districts also received high percentages of appropriated
    funds for English Language Acquisition State Grants (94 percent),
    Small Rural School Achievement Program (94 percent), Technology
    Innovation Challenge Grant Program (94 percent), and the 21st
    Century Community Learning Centers (Direct Federal) (93 percent).

### Size of Funds Distributions 

**Summary**

![](media/image2.wmf)Overall, one-third of *GEPA* 424 recipients
received distributions that were small in size---\$10,000 or less. When
viewed separately, 34 percent of state-administered program recipients
received distributions of \$10,000 or less. Distributions for direct
federal programs tended to be larger, with 7 percent of recipients
receiving distributions of \$10,000 or less and 10 percent of recipients
receiving distributions of \$1,000,000 or more. (See table 3.2 and
fig. 4.)

**Mean and Median Distribution Size**

The size of individual distributions varied substantially from program
to program depending on the total amount of funding and the number of
grantees. Across all *GEPA* 424 programs, the mean distribution
size---which represents the total distributions divided by the total
number of recipients---ranged from a high of \$3,100,000 to a low of
\$21,677. Median distribution sizes---which represent the distribution
of the \"middle\" grantee---were somewhat lower, ranging from
\$3,100,000 to \$2,868, for all program. Mean distribution sizes were
higher because they were more influenced by the extremely large
distributions to a relatively small number of large districts, while
median distribution sizes reflected the fact that most grantees were
relatively small in size and accordingly received relatively small
distributions.

-   The reported mean distributions for the two most highly funded
    programs Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education
    Agencies (Title I, Part A) and Special Education Grants to States
    under *IDEA*, were relatively very large---both over \$700,000.
    However, the much smaller median size of distributions (\$169,245
    and \$152,443, respectively) indicates that a substantial number of
    small school districts receive funds under these two programs.

-   Several programs had mean and median distributions that exceeded \$1
    million. These included Early Reading First, Impact Aid, Facilities
    Maintenance, Technology Innovation Challenge Grant Program, Magnet
    Schools Assistance, Vocational Education---Native Hawaiians, Native
    Hawaiian Special Education, Native Hawaiian Education Program, Star
    Schools Program, and Voluntary Public School Choice. However, many
    of these programs provided funds to fewer than 20 recipients.

Source: The distribution information shown in this table came from two
sources. Distributions for state-administered programs was provided by
the individual SEAs. Distributions for direct federal programs came from
the Department's Grant Administration and Payment System (GAPS)
database.

Note: The mean distribution size equals the sum of all reported
distributions and divided by total number of distributions. The median
distribution is the value in the middle of the sorted list of numbers in
ascending or descending value.

^[a]{.underline}/^ The 21st Century Community Learning Centers program
was in transition for the FY 2003 appropriation year. For this year, a
portion of the program funds were distributed to recipients as a
state-administered program with the remaining funds distributed as a
direct federal program. In this and all other FY 2003 tables in this
report, the distribution information for this program shows the
state-administered and direct federal distributions separately.

**Changes in Mean and Median Amounts of Program Fund Distributions From

In real FY 2003 dollars, the mean size of distributions has increased
steadily over the past several years; the size of the median
distribution has remained fairly steady.

Distribution of Funds Among School Districts, by Poverty Level

Most federal education programs that distribute funds to school
districts target those funds to districts with high concentrations of
children from families below the poverty line. That is, the percentage
of funds distributed to high-poverty districts is typically high
compared to the proportion of total school-age children, although
usually below school districts' proportion of total poor children. This
section of the report examines the relative targeting of these funds by
looking at the share of funds provided to districts in the highest
poverty quartile.

The poverty quartiles were established through a three-step process
described below.

1.  The percentage of school-age children (ages 5--17) living in poverty
    was established for all school districts using the 2003 U.S. Census
    Bureau's Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates. The specific
    calculation was the number of children ages 5--17 in poverty divided
    by the number of children ages 5--17.

2.  All school districts were ranked by the percentage of their
    school-age children (ages 5--17) living in poverty. That is, all
    school districts were sorted by the percentage of school-age
    children living in poverty so that the school districts with the
    highest poverty percentages are at one end of the spectrum and the
    school districts with the lowest poverty percentages are at the
    other end.

3.  Using the total number of children ages 5--17, the list of ranked
    school districts was divided into quartiles so that each poverty
    quartile contained 25 percent of total school-age children. For
    example, if there were a total of 1,000,000 children ages 5--17
    across all the districts, the break for the first quartile would be
    located at the school district on the sorted list between students
    250,000 and student 250,001. The "poverty break" or division for
    that quartile would be the one associated with that school district.
    The other poverty breaks would be determined at 500,000 and 750,000
    students.

The divisions for the poverty quartiles as well as the percentage of
school age children (ages 5--17) represented in each quartile are shown
in the table 3.3. The table reads as follows: The school districts in
the highest poverty quartile includes all districts with more than 22.98
percent of children ages 5--17 in poverty. The children in this quartile
represent 25 percent of all children ages 5--17 nationwide and 41
percent of children in poverty nationwide.

This analysis of funds includes only the 21 programs for which
80 percent or more of the reported funds went to school districts.[^7]
This restriction is necessary in order to yield valid analyses. For
programs where the main focus of the program is entities other than
school districts (e.g., state agencies or colleges and universities) an
analysis of school district distributions is not an accurate
representation of the program.

-   Across all *GEPA* 424 programs, 42 percent of funds were distributed
    to the highest poverty school districts. Although 25 percent of all
    students and 12 percent of poor students are in the lowest poverty
    school districts, these districts received 12 percent of *GEPA* 424
    funds. (See table 3.4 and fig. 6.)

-   For four programs, the highest poverty districts received a share of
    total funds that was significantly greater than their share of total
    poor children (47 percent): Comprehensive School Reform Program (53
    percent), Reading First (59 percent), Rural and Low-Income Schools
    Grant Program (65 percent), and Improving Literacy through School
    Libraries (83 percent).

-   For five programs, the highest poverty school districts received a
    share of total funds that was roughly comparable to their share of
    total poor children: Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local
    Education Agencies (Title I, Part A; 49 percent), Enhancing
    Education Through Technology Program (45 percent), English Language
    Acquisition State Grants (47 percent), Indian Education---Formula
    Grants to Local Education Agencies (45 percent), and Technology
    Innovation Challenge Grant Program (47 percent).

-   For two programs administered under *IDEA,* Special
    Education*---*Grants to States and Preschool Grants for Children
    with Disabilities, the highest poverty school districts received a
    share of total funds (27 percent each) that was roughly equal to
    their share of total school-age children (25 percent).

Source: The distribution information shown in this table came from two
sources. Distributions for state-administered programs was provided by
the individual SEAs. Distributions for direct federal programs came from
the Department's Grant Administration and Payment System (GAPS)
database.

^[a]{.underline}/^ The poverty quartiles were established by ranking all
school districts by the percentage of their school-age children (ages
5--17) living in poverty and then dividing these districts into
quartiles so that each poverty quartile contained 25 percent of total
school-age children.

^[b]{.underline}/^ This table only includes those programs for which 80
percent or more of the funds were distributed to school districts.

^[c]{.underline}/^ The number of recipients in this column are only
those school districts that were in both the *GEPA* 424 and the U.S.
Census Bureau's 2003 Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates data sets.
This figure is smaller than the totals shown in table 3.1 because that
table includes all recipients. These figures also differ from the
figures shown in table 3.6 because that table merges the school district
records with NCES' Common Core of Data to obtain the urbanicity
information.

^[d]{.underline}/^ Less than 0.5 percent.

**Trends in the Distribution of Federal Funds Among School Districts in
the Highest Poverty Quartile**

Over the 12-year period from FY 1992 through FY 2003, the distribution
of funds to school districts in the highest- and lowest-poverty
quartiles was relatively stable for most programs. For example, the
share of Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education Agencies
(Title I, Part A) funds that went to the highest-poverty districts
remained virtually unchanged at 50 percent. Note that over the time
period shown in table 3.5, there have been numerous legislative and
funding changes. As results of these changes, programs are added to and
removed from this list of applicable programs. Table 3.5 includes only
those programs that continue to be part of the *GEPA* 424 analysis going
forward.

Source: The distribution information shown in this table came from two
sources. Distributions for state-administered programs was provided by
the individual SEAs. Distributions for direct federal programs came from
the Department's Grant Administration and Payment System (GAPS)
database.

^[a]{.underline}/^ The poverty quartiles were established by ranking all
school districts by the percentage of their school-age children (ages
5--17) living in poverty and then dividing these districts into
quartiles so that each poverty quartile contained 25 percent of total
school-age children.

^[b]{.underline}/^ Information is shown in this table based on
availability. Programs are added or removed for three main reasons.
First, a program may be added (or removed) for legislative reasons.
Second, program information for some years may not be available because
less than 80 percent of funds went to school districts. Finally,
programs may be added (or removed) from the *GEPA* 424 reporting
requirement. The largest year for this type of change was FY 1994 when
direct federal programs were added to the *GEPA* 424 reporting
requirement, adding Impact Aid and Technology Literacy Challenge Fund to
this analysis.

^[c]{.underline}/^ Starting with FY 2002, funds for Basic Support
Payments and Payments for Children with Disabilities are reported
together. Therefore, combined funds for these two programs are
indicated.

**Distribution of Funds Among School Districts, by Urbanicity**[^8]

The distribution of funds among central city, urban fringe/large town,
and rural/small town districts varied considerably across programs. As
with the poverty analysis above, this analysis included only the 20
programs for which 80 percent or more of the reported funds went to
school districts.[^9] This restriction is necessary in order to yield
valid analyses. That is, For programs where the main focus of the
program is an entity other than a school district (e.g., a state agency
or a college or university) an analysis of school district distribution
is not an accurate representation of the program.

-   Overall, 41 percent of funds went to school districts in central
    cities. Students in these school districts comprise 32 percent of
    the overall student population. (See fig. 7 and table 3.6.)

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Central city school districts received approximately half of the
    funds for Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education
    Agencies (Title I, Part A; 48 percent), Comprehensive School Reform
    (52 percent), Reading First (51 percent), English Language
    Acquisition State Grants (53 percent), and Foreign Language
    Assistance Program (50 percent). These schools received two-thirds
    of the funds for Magnet Schools Assistance (62 percent).

-   Rural/small town school districts received relatively large
    proportions of the funds for Small Rural School Achievement Program
    (96 percent), Rural and Low-Income Schools Grant Program (92
    percent), Impact Aid, Basic Support Payments (55 percent),
    Technology Innovation Challenge Grant Program (33 percent), Indian
    Education---Formula Grants to Local Education Agencies (59 percent),
    Improving Literacy through School Libraries (38 percent), and School
    Dropout Prevention Programs (36 percent).

Source: The distribution information shown in this table came from two
sources. Distributions for state-administered programs was provided by
the individual SEAs. Distributions for direct federal programs came from
the Department's Grant Administration and Payment System (GAPS)
database.

^[a]{.underline}/^ This table only includes those programs for which 80
percent or more of the funds were distributed to school districts. The
recipients included in the analysis are only those that were in both the
*GEPA* 424 and the NCES Common Core of Data data sets. Therefore, the
number of recipients shown in this table differs slightly from the
figures shown in tables 3.1 and 3.3.

**Changes in Distribution of Funds, by Urbanicity, Among Six Years**

![](media/image2.wmf)

Across all *GEPA* 424 programs that provide distributions to school
districts, the distribution of funds among central city, urban
fringe/large town, and rural/small town districts has been fairly
consistent over the past six years. (See fig. 8.)

Source: The distribution information shown in this table came from two
sources. Distributions for state-administered programs was provided by
the individual SEAs. Distributions for direct federal programs came from
the Department's Grant Administration and Payment System (GAPS)
database.

^[a]{.underline}/^ This figure includes *all* disbursements reported by
the states for these individual programs, including funds retained at
the state level.

^[b]{.underline}/^ The category \"other\" includes all distributions
made to institutions, libraries, and other agencies.

^[c]{.underline}/^ Some states elect to classify Charter Schools Program
as "other" while many states classify these schools as separate school
districts.

^[d]{.underline}/^ Less than 0.5 percent.

Source: The distribution information shown in this table came from two
sources. Distributions for state-administered programs was provided by
the individual SEAs. Distributions for direct federal programs came from
the Department's Grant Administration and Payment System (GAPS)
database.

Note: The mean distribution size was calculated by summing up all
reported distributions and dividing the resulting figure by the total
number of distributions. The medial distribution size was calculated by
sorting all reported distributions. The median distribution is the value
in the middle of the sorted list.

^[a]{.underline}/^ Less than 0.5 percent.

Source: The distribution information shown in this table came from two
sources. Distributions for state-administered programs was provided by
the individual SEAs. Distributions for direct federal programs came from
the Department's Grant Administration and Payment System (GAPS)
database.

^[a]{.underline}/^ This table only includes those programs for which 80
percent or more of the funds were distributed to school districts.

^[b]{.underline}/^ The poverty quartiles were established by ranking all
school districts by the percentage of their school-age children (ages
5--17) living in poverty and then dividing these districts into
quartiles so that each poverty quartile contained 25 percent of total
school-age children.

^[c]{.underline}/^ The number of recipients in this column are only
those school districts that were in both the *GEPA* 424 and the U.S.
Census Bureau's 2003 Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates data sets.
Therefore, the total number of recipients shown in this table differs
from the figures shown in Tables B.1 and B.4.

[^3]: Most *GEPA* 424 state-administered programs are "forward-funded"
    and are generally available for obligation (at the federal and state
    levels) from July 1 in the fiscal year appropriated through Sept. 30
    of the following fiscal year (a period of 15 months). Most *GEPA*
    424 programs are covered by the Tydings Amendment to *GEPA* 424,
    which gives recipients an additional 12 months to continue to incur
    obligations. For example, funds provided in the federal FY 2003
    appropriation that were forward-funded became available on July 1,
    2003, and were spent primarily between that date and Sept. 30, 2004
    (the first 15 months of availability), but continued to be available
    for allocation and obligation by the recipients through Sept. 30,
    2005.

[^4]: The tables and text herein include all data received from states
    through Sept. 15, 2006.

[^5]: Note that the appropriation figures shown in table 2.1 represent
    the federal appropriation for each program for each fiscal year. In
    reporting the data, states were instructed to exclude carryover
    funds from previous years so that the data they reported would align
    with the federal appropriations.

[^6]: These programs are both examples of programs which provide direct
    services through the state and, therefore, it is reasonable to
    anticipate that the funds are used at the state level, rather than
    allocated to school districts or other recipients.

[^7]: Once the poverty quartiles were established, the *GEPA* 424 data
    set was merged with the poverty data from the U.S. Census Bureau's
    2003 Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates. This Census Bureau
    poverty data was available for 13,476 of the 15,742 school districts
    in the *GEPA* 424 data set (86 percent).

[^8]: This analysis uses three urbanicity categories for school
    districts that are reported by the National Center for Education
    Statistics: central city, urban fringe/large town, and rural/small
    town. Central city districts are defined as those that primarily
    serve a central city of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). An
    urban fringe/large town district serves an area within an MSA but
    not primarily its central city, or a place not within an MSA but
    with a population of 25,000 or more and defined as urban. A
    rural/small town district serves an area outside an MSA.

[^9]: The *GEPA* 424 data set was merged with the data on metropolitan
    status that were available from NCES Common Core of Data (CCD).
    These metro status data were available for 15,491 of the 15,742
    districts in the *GEPA* 424 data set (98 percent).
