  8. LEA Discretion (continued) • Funds may be used for a school in an ineligible attendance area if the percentage of enrolled children from low-income families is equal to or greater than the percentage in a participating attendance area.

  9. SPECIAL RULE • Private school student participation shall be determined without regard to whether the public school attendance area is assisted under Part A.

  10. Allocations • LEAs will allocate funds to eligible areas or schools, in order of ranking, on the basis of total number of children from low-income families in each area or school. • LEAs may allocate higher per pupil amounts to schools with higher percentages of poverty, e.g. 90 to 100%, $500 per pupil; 80 to 90%, $450 per pupil, etc.

  11. 125% Rule • The 125% rule does not apply to an LEA that serves only schools in which the percentage of low-income children is 35% or greater. • If the 125% rule is used, school/area allocations shall be at least 125% of the per pupil amount the LEA received for that year.

  12. 125% Rule (Continued) • If 2,000 children in an LEA meet low-income eligibility criteria, and $1 million is allocated to the LEA, $500 is the per pupil amount. • Allocations to schools/areas of 125% of $500 per eligible pupil would be $625 per eligible child.
