SEA Procedures for Adjusting ED-Determined Title I Allocations to Local Education Agencies (LEAs)

These statutory provisions have been part of the Title I, Part A statute since 1994. They were first implemented in 1999 when ED switched to allocating Title I, Part A funds directly to LEAs.

The estimated burden and cost to the 52 SEAs to follow the steps outlined in §§200.70 – 200.75 and §200.100 of the regulations is 2080 annual hours at a cost of $62,400. This assumes that on average 52 SEAs will require 40 hours of work to carry out these procedures. The cost per hour would average $30.

Note that there is no instrument of collection for data by ED associated with these provisions in the statute and regulations. This narrative addresses only the burden associated with the actual process an SEA must follow to obtain approval from ED to use alternative poverty data to redistribute Title I, Part A funds to small LEAs.
