Are districts eligible to transfer their School and Library Block Grant funds into a School-Based Coordinated Program?
Yes. The flexibility allowed by a School-Based Coordinated Program will continue. A district may transfer some or all of its School and Library Improvement Block Grant funds to a School-Based Coordinated Program provided that the district participated in the School Improvement Program in 2003-04. If the district did not participate in the School Improvement Program in 2003-04, then the block grant must be spent for School Library program purposes and cannot be transferred for School-Based Coordination program purposes. The School-Based Coordinated Program transfer is independent of the 15 percent limit on transfers out of this block grant.
