§10006 — Title 20 Education | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary may set aside up to 1 percent of the money reserved under section 10001(c) that is not used for section 10007 to pay for technical help to States working on certain goals in section 10005(d). In fiscal year 2010, the Secretary must use the rest of those reserved funds to give grants to States that have made significant progress on those same goals. The Secretary decides which States get grants and how much, using State applications under section 10005 and any other criteria the Secretary finds appropriate, including a State’s need for help. Each State getting a grant must use at least 50 percent of it to give subgrants to local school districts based on their share of Title I, Part A funding from the most recent year. The 50 percent rule does not apply to grants to State consortia making aligned academic tests or to grants for improving early childhood care and education, though those grantees may still make subgrants to public or private agencies for allowed activities.
