Consortia SEC. 3114. Within-State Allocation (b) LIMITATION. – A State educational agency shall not award a subgrant from an allocation made under subsection (a) if the amount of such subgrant would be less than $10,000.
Consortia – Current Structure • The current consortia model utilizes a RESA approach to allocating subgrants. Essentially the RESA is a fiscal agency to transfer funds to LEA’s. • No accountability is established at the RESA level for monitoring or strategic planning. • The alignment of LEA’s in the current consortia model does not correspond directly with the established WV geographical grouping of district in RESA’s. • Currently RESA 4 and RESA 6 are functioning as a fiscal agency
Consortia Model • Virginia • http://www.doe.virginia.gov/federal_programs/esea/applications/title3/title3_part-a_consortium_agreemt.xls • California • http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/el/t3/lepconsortia.asp
Proposal for Restructure • Subgrant allocation is allotted to a regional educational center that services multiple LEA’s (RESA). • Fiscal agent for the grant and issues subgrants to the individual LEA’s that do not meet the $10,000 minimum. • RESA retains a portion of federal allocation from each LEA • Meaningful professional development • Additional technical assistance
