Can a public charter school opening for the first time in September 2010, or after, become a participating LEA and receive funding under the subgrant allocations?
No. According to guidance from USED, funding for the LEA subgrants under section 14006(c) is based on the share of funding received by the LEA under Title I, Part A of the ESEA for FY 2009. A public charter school opening for the first time in September 2010 — or later — did not receive Title I, Part A funding in 2009 and therefore is not eligible for an LEA subgrant. However, see response to Q25 for information on available funding from the State’s share of the RTTT grant.
