A State must award formula subgrants for a fiscal year by allocating funds in a timely manner to each LEA in the State with an approved Title III plan. Additionally, a State must reserve not more than 15 percent of the State Title III allocation for subgrants to LEAs in the State that have experienced a substantial increase in the percentage or number of immigrant children and youth who have enrolled in schools in the LEA in the current fiscal year compared to the average of the last two fiscal years.

This is one of a number of Department programs that provides funds that may be used to support broadband access. The allowability of costs is always situation and program specific. For that reason, if you decide to use funds under one of these programs for costs related to broadband access, you must be sure that the use of the funds is, under the specific circumstances of the expenditure and the program authority selected, reasonable and necessary for the purposes of that program, and does not violate other program requirements, such as supplement not supplant, if it applies to program. We also note that, while funds under one of these programs can be used on broadband access, the programs’ purpose is not primarily focused on that issue.
