How does this apply to Supplanting – Title I?
An LEA may use Title I funds only to supplement and, to the extent practical, increase the level of funds that would, in the absence of Title I funds, be made available from non-Federal sources for the education of students participating in Title I programs. In no case may Title I funds be used to supplant--i.e., take the place of--funds from non-Federal sources.
The U.S. Dept. of Education presumes supplanting has occurred if:
- The district used federal funds to provide services that it was required to make available under other federal, state, or local laws.
- The district used federal funds to provide services that it provided with non-federal funds in the prior year.
- The district used Title I (Parts A or C) funds to provide a service for Title I students that it provided with non-federal funds for non-Title I students.
Supplanting presumptions are rebuttable if the district can demonstrate that it would not have provided the services in question with non-federal funds had the federal funds not been available.
