Uses and Use Restrictions
Under formula awards, most assistance becomes part of the general operating fund of the LEAs.
Districts usually deposit the Federal payment in the general operating funds account in accordance with State laws, together with all State and local funds available for current operating expenses and use this combined account to finance the school program in the district.
Special additional payments made to LEAs related to enrollments of federally connected children with disabilities must be used for programs and projects designed to meet the special educational and related needs of these children.
Payments for construction may be used for construction and renovation, debt service, or other capital fund activities.
Under discretionary construction awards, funds must be used for the project grant described in the application and grant award notification.
The discretionary construction grant program is subject to non-supplanting requirements and must use a restricted indirect cost rate which is referenced under 34 CFR 76.564-76.569.
For assistance call the Office of the Chief Financial Officer/Indirect Cost Group on 202-708-7770.

Assistance Considerations
Formula and Matching Requirements
Statutory Formula: Title VII, Sections 7002, 7003, and 7007(a). Matching Requirements: Under Section 7002, payments are determined under a statutory formula that considers the assessed valuation of the property acquired by the Federal government and the LEA's local tax rate for current expenditures. Under Section 7003, payments are determined under a statutory formula that considers the average daily attendance of federally connected students for the previous year, the per-pupil expenditure average from the third preceding year, the weight in the statute attached to certain categories of federally connected students, the total current expenditures of the LEA, and the total membership of the LEA. Under Section 7007(a), payments are determined under a statutory formula that considers the average daily attendance of children living on Indian lands and dependents of the military living on and off base. Under Section 7007(b), payments are awarded on a competitive basis to certain eligible LEAs that receive Impact Aid. This program does not have MOE requirements.
