Applicant Information

Title I, Part A (Title I) is a formula program to States. The U.S. Department of Education allocates Title I funds to State educational agencies (SEAs) through four statutory formulas (Basic Grants, Concentration Grants, Targeted Grants, and Education Finance Incentive Grants) that are based primarily on the annually-updated census poverty local educational agency (LEA) data adjusted for the cost of education in each State. SEAs in turn distribute Title I funds to their LEAs in accordance with Title I requirements.

Basic, Concentration and Targeted Grants

Basic Grants provide funds to LEAs in which the number of children counted in the formula (formula children) is at least 10 and exceeds 2 percent of an LEA’s school-age population. Concentration Grants flow to LEAs where the number of formula children exceeds 6,500 or 15 percent of the total school-age population. Targeted Grants are based on the same data used for Basic and Concentration Grants except that the data are weighted so that LEAs with higher numbers or percentages of formula children receive more funds. Targeted Grants flow to LEAs where the number of formula children is at least 10 and comprises at least 5 percent of the LEA’s school-age population.

Education Finance Incentive Grants

Education Finance Incentive Grants (EFIG) distribute funds to states based on factors that measure (1) a state’s effort to provide financial support for education compared to its relative wealth as measured by its per-capita income and (2) the degree to which education expenditures among LEAs within the state are equalized. Once a state’s EFIG allocation is determined, funds are allocated to LEAs in which the number of formula children is at least 10 and comprises at least 5 percent of the LEA’s school-age population.

Legislation, Regulations and Guidance

 

Comprehensive Centers Program is a discretionary grant program authorized under Title II, Sec. 203, of the Educational Technical Assistance Act (ETAA) of 2002.

Access Title II of the Educational Technical Assistance Act

The Educational Technical Assistance Act (ETAA) of 2002 (20 U.S.C. 9601) authorizes support for not less than 20 grants to local entities, or consortia of such entities, with demonstrated expertise in providing capacity-building services in reading, mathematics, science, and technology, especially to low-performing schools and districts, including the administration and implementation of programs authorized under the ESEA. Under section 203(a)(2) of the ETAA, the Department is required to establish at least one Center in each of the 10 geographic regions served by the Department’s Regional Educational Laboratories (RELs) authorized under section 941(h) of the Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act of 1994. The proposed funding for Regional Centers established under the ETAA must take into consideration the school-age population, proportion of economically disadvantaged students, increased cost burdens of service delivery in rural areas, and number of schools identified for improvement under ESEA section 1111(d). Accordingly, the regions for the proposed Regional Centers take into account total SEAs, LEAs, REAs, SEAs, and LEAs eligible for the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and the Rural Low-Income School Program, schools, and the associated RELs.
