§2532 Authorization of appropriations

Summary

Provides $20,000,000 for each fiscal year 1978 through 1983 to carry out the programs covered here. For fiscal year 1977, it provides $3,000,000 for state grants to expand and strengthen counseling and guidance in elementary and secondary schools, and says that this $3,000,000 must not be treated as additional authorized money under part B (Libraries and Learning Resources) of title IV of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act for 1977. The Secretary of Education must divide the 1977 funds among Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands based on need, and also give needed amounts to the Secretary of the Interior for Indian schools and to the Secretary of Defense for overseas dependent schools, with payment terms the Education Secretary decides. The rest of the money is split among the States in proportion to each State’s number of children aged five to seventeen, using the most recent good data. Any State money not needed can be reallotted to other States in proportion to their original shares, adjusted so no State gets more than it can use; reallotted money counts as part of the State’s allotment.
