If a participating LEA included in the State’s RTTT application chooses to withdraw, what is the impact on my LEA’s preliminary subgrant allocation?
If the number of participating LEAs increases or decreases, the State will need to recalculate its section 14006(c) subgrant allocations to all participating LEAs. LEAs should note that, pursuant to USED guidance, “States must inform [USED] of any substantive changes in their approved grant application, including the withdrawal of any participating LEAs.” LEAs should also note that the State’s RTTT activities are largely required by regulation or law. Section II-C (Joint Responsibilities) of the MOU signed by participating LEAs prior to the submission of the State’s application commits NYSED and the participating LEA to negotiate in good faith to continue to achieve the overall goals of the State’s RTTT grant, even when the State plan requires modifications that affect the LEA, or the LEA’s plan requires modifications. If the good faith negotiations on the Final Scope of Work are unsuccessful, the LEA may withdraw as a participating LEA, with the resulting loss of RTTT funding. The MOU
