Summary

Eligible providers must spend at least 95% of the money they get under this subchapter on adult education and literacy activities. They can use up to 5% for planning, administration (including meeting the requirements in section 3141), professional development, and other specified activities in section 3322. If that split is too tight to cover needed noninstructional work, the provider must negotiate with the eligible agency to agree on a larger amount for those purposes.
