Transferability – Form Package 821 (18-19)
Transferability is a flexibility authority under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) which allows LEAs to transfer up to 100% of the funds they receive under Title II, Part A and Title IV, Part A to other programs to better address the needs of their unique student populations and to ensure the capacity of delivering a meaningful program. Federal regulations require LEAs to notify the State Education Agency 30 days prior to the transfer of funds. To indicate transferability intent, including LEAs who are not transferring funds, please complete iGrants Form Package 821 (18–19).

Complete FP 821 (18─19) prior to submitting the full FP 239 (18─19) grant application.
