Must each participating school and LEA individually meet the cost-sharing requirement?
The cost-sharing requirement applies to the grant as a whole, not to individual schools or LEAs. However, if (for example) an SEA is asking four districts within its State to each contribute 75 percent of their portion of differentiated compensation in the final year, this is fine so long as the applicant has this documented clearly in the budget narrative. The applicant will be required to document how it met the match requirement for the entire grant, even if those funds came from the districts served in the project.
