Title I, Part D, Subpart 2– Apportionment Overview

Program Description

Title I, Part D, Subpart 2, Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) (Public Law 114–95) funds are apportioned to local educational agencies (LEAs) for programs that serve children and youth who are in locally operated correctional facilities or are attending community day programs for delinquent children and youth, and to provide assistance to children and youth who are neglected or at-risk of dropping out of school.

Allocations and Apportionments

Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 funds are allocated to LEAs based on the count of children reported on the prior year Annual Survey of Local Institutions for Neglected or Delinquent Children.

The CDE apportions Title I Part D, Subpart 2 funds on a quarterly basis following each federal Cash Management Data Collection (CMDC) period until the period of availability expires. Funds are apportioned quarterly to reduce the time elapsing between receipt and disbursement of funds by LEAs in order to comply with federal cash management requirements. In order to receive an apportionment each quarter, an LEA must:

• Apply for Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 funds on the 2020–21 Consolidated Application and Reporting System (CARS). LEAs must certify the Application for Funding by April 16, 2021.
• Complete the ESSA LEA Plan. The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Federal Addendum and CARS will serve to meet the ESSA LEA Plan requirement. Senate Bill 98 (Chapter 24, Statutes of 2020) established that LEAs are not required to adopt the LCAP for the 2020-21 school year.
• File CMDC during an open period and meet federal cash management thresholds.

Each LEA’s quarterly payment equals 25 percent of the Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 allocation minus the cash balance reported in CMDC each respective quarter, minus any funds paid in the same quarter from the balance of any preceding fiscal year funds that have not yet expired.

Example:  If a cash balance of -$250 is submitted for an LEA with a yearly entitlement of $500, the calculated apportionment will be 25% of 500 + 250 or $125 + 250 = $375.

An LEA is subject to a maximum payment equal to 25 percent of the award allocation in the first apportionment of each fiscal year. More details on the CMDC, including quarterly windows and reporting deadlines, are posted on the Federal Cash Management web page.

Allocation amounts are adjusted for LEAs that failed to meet the federal maintenance of effort requirement applicable to 2020–21 funding and did not receive an approved federal waiver, pursuant to Section 8521 of the ESSA. Revised allocations reflect any revisions from United States Department of Education (ED) to the grant award. Final allocations eliminate funds previously set aside for LEAs without CARS and/or lacking an approved LCAP Federal Addendum. Funds are redistributed to all eligible LEAs.
