Stay Tuned! Additional Title I, Part A Funds
At the conclusion of the 2021–2022 reallocation cycle, excess Title I, Part A funds remain. These funds will be distributed to LEAs during the 2022–2023 carryover process. It is expected that an estimated $4,000,000 will be re-distributed to LEAs based upon the 2021–2022 percentage of State Education Agency (SEA) funds allocated to LEAs. When calculations are complete, LEAs will be advised of the amount they are to receive.
