Assistance Considerations
Formula and Matching Requirements
Statutory Formula: Title ESEA, Title VI, Part A, Subpart 1, Section 6113. This program has no matching requirements. The Department calculates the amount of a grant that an LEA receives by multiplying the number of Indian children enrolled in the LEA's schools by the average per-pupil expenditure for the State in which the applicant is located, or 80 percent of the national average per pupil expenditure, whichever is greater. In setting the actual amount of a grant, an applicant's formula amount is adjusted on the basis of available appropriations. Grantees must receive a minimum grant of $3,000. Maintenance-of-Effort Requirements: In order for an LEA to receive a grant, the appropriate State educational agency (SEA) must certify that the combined fiscal effort of that LEA and the State with respect to the provision of free public education by that LEA for the preceding fiscal year was not less than 90 percent of the combined fiscal effort for that purpose for the second preceding fiscal year. If an LEA does not meet this requirement and the Secretary does not grant a waiver for unusual circumstances, the LEA's grant award is reduced in the proportion by which the LEA failed to meet the combined fiscal effort requirement. DOI/Bureau of Indian Education grantees are exempt from the combined fiscal effort requirement. This program does not have MOE requirements. This program has supplement-not-supplant requirements.
