When will Pupil Retention Block Grant funding be allocated?
The first 80 percent of Pupil Retention Block Grant funding will be allocated by the end of February. A second apportionment of up to 20 percent will be allocated in late spring. To the extent there are unallocated funds after the second apportionment, they will be allocated in a third apportionment by early August 2006. • The Continuation High School Foundation program has been funded through the principal apportionment process. Will local educational agencies receive funding for this program in the 2005-06 advance apportionment or through the Pupil Retention Block Grant? Local educational agencies will receive funding for the Continuation High School Foundation program through the Pupil Retention Block Grant. In 2005-06, a corresponding adjustment will be made to each local educational agency’s advance apportionment to reflect the fact that it has begun receiving funds for this program through the Block Grant instead of the principal apportionment process.
