Separate grants are provided to SEAs and SAHEs.
LEAs apply to the SEAs for program funds.
The SEAs allocate funds to LEAs based on the relative enrollment in public and private nonprofit elementary and secondary schools and the relative amounts the LEAs received under Part A of Title I for the previous year or, for fiscal year 1995, the relative amounts the LEAs received under Title I, Part A's predecessor program. SEAs may waive the consortium requirement for LEAs that can demonstrate that the amount of their allocation is sufficient to provide a program of sufficient size, scope, and quality to be effective. The SAHE makes grants to, or enters into contracts or cooperative agreements with, IHEs and NPOs of demonstrated effectiveness in order to provide professional development activities that contribute to the State plan. Compliance Requirements, Audit Objectives and Suggested Audit Procedures See discussion of Waivers in Cross-cutting Provisions. A. Types of Services Allowed or Unallowed Part III, Section C of the Cross-cutting Provisions describe options for transferring ESEA program funds to other ESEA programs, to coordinated services projects, and to consolidated administrative funds.
