FY2008 Allocation Funding: Round 6 (2007-08)

Under the federal REAP and FLEX guidelines, districts still have the option of transferring funds from other programs into the Title II-D program in order to use such funds for activities allowable under the Title II-D program. To do this, districts should submit their common pages as usual and then submit a Title II-D Funds Transfer Application and OBM Form 1. Such transfers will then be reviewed by the program managers for both title programs.

FY2007 Allocation Funding: Round 5 (2006-07)

Due to the changes in federal legislation for Title II-D and the signficant decrease in funding for this program, no formula funding will be issued by Title II-D this year. However, under the federal REAP and FLEX guidelines, districts still have the option of transferring funds from other programs into the Title II-D program in order to use such funds for activities allowable under the Title II-D program. To do this, districts should submit their common pages as usual and then submit a Title II-D application and OBM Form 1. Such transfers will then be reviewed by the program managers for both title programs.

Applications for phase two of the process resulted in the creation of two satellite local support centers in May 2004. (Teams which were successful in phase one as described above were eligible to apply for phase two.) Visit the LESCN website for more about the Center network.
