Abstract: This is a request to extend an existing information
collection for the Application for Flexibility for Equitable Per-pupil
Funding, the instrument through which local educational agencies (LEAs)
apply for flexibility to consolidate eligible Federal funds and State
and local education funding based on weighted per-pupil allocations for
low-income and otherwise disadvantaged students. This program allows
LEAs to consolidate funds under the following Federal education
programs: Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA); Title
I, Part A Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational
Agencies; Title I, Part C Education of Migratory Children; Title I,
Part D, Subpart 2 Local Prevention and Intervention Programs for
Children and Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk; Title II
Preparing, Training, and Recruiting High-quality Teachers, Principals,
or Other School Leaders; Title III Language Instruction for English
Learners and Immigrant Students; Title IV, Part A Student Support and
Academic Enrichment Grants; Title VI, Part B Rural Education
Initiative. On December 10, 2015, the programs above were reauthorized
by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as
amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The Flexibility for
Equitable Per-pupil Funding under section 1501 of the ESEA allows the
U.S. Department of Education (Department) to offer an LEA the
opportunity to consolidate funds under the above-listed programs to
support the LEA in creating a single school funding system based on
weighted per-pupil allocations for low-income and otherwise
disadvantaged students, with attendant flexibility in using those
funds.
