Can a district use Title I funds to transport homeless students to and from their schools of origin?
No. Because of the no supplanting provisions of Title I, these funds cannot be used to provide services that are required of a school district . However, once a student is permanently housed, a school district can use Title I funds to continue transporting that student to and from the school of origin (formerly homeless students that become permanently housed are allowed to continue attending the school of origin for the remainder of the school district, but a district is no longer required to transport a permanently housed child living outside of its attendance area, although continuation of transportation is strongly encouraged).
