Section
1127 of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) (Outside Source)
Title I, Part A, allows LEAs to carry over up to 15% of their
allocations for any fiscal year. If the carry over amount
exceeds 15%, the LEAs may file a request with the California Department
of Education (CDE) to waive that limit. These waivers can
only be granted once in three years. The fifteen percent
carry over limit does not apply, if an LEA's entitlement is less
than $50,000 for the fiscal year.
Carryover Request Form
(DOC; 80KB; 1p; 16-July-2007)
LEAs must file this request with the CDE to waive the 15 percent
limit. The Title I Carryover Request Form must be approved and
on file with the CDE before the LEA can spend the carry over funds
that are in excess of the 15 percent limit. This form must be
approved by the local board prior to submission to the CDE. The
description/rationale section needs to include the LEA's plan
for the use of excess carry-over funds.

Transferability and Title I Carry over
If an LEA transfers funds from another Federal education program into Title I, Part A under the transferability provision in section 6123 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), then the additional amount transferred is added to the LEA's Title I, Part A allocation and the combined amount becomes the base for calculating the 15 percent carry over limitation.
NCLB Reauthorization and Carry over
Title I reauthorization under the NCLB Act starts the three-year time period over with fiscal year 2002/2003 funds.
