Transferability, Flexibility, and Program Coordination

Districts may transfer up to 50 percent (with greater limits imposed under particular circumstances) of the federal grant funds they receive under the Improving Teacher Quality (Title II-A), Educational Technology (Title II-D), 21st Century Schools (Title IV), and Innovative Programs (Title V) grants to any of these programs or to their Title I program. While funds may be transferred into a Title I program, Title I funds may not be transferred out of Title I to other programs.

Limitations on transferability of federal funds apply to districts identified for improvement or corrective action. Districts identified for improvement may transfer no more than 30% of the funds allocated to them under Titles II-A, II-D, IV, and V. Moreover, all transferred funds must be used for improvement activities as outlined in the district's improvement plan. Districts in corrective action may not transfer funds between Titles I, II-A, II-D, IV, or V while they are in corrective action.
