Dear County Superintendents of Schools:

Second Apportionment for Title V, Part B, Subpart 2,
Rural and Low-Income School Program
Every Student Succeeds Act
Fiscal Year 2020–21

This apportionment, in the amount of $3,651,404, is made from federal funds provided to the state under Title V, Part B, Subpart 2, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (Public Law 114–95). Title V, Part B, Subpart 2 funds are to be used to improve instruction and achievement for children in rural and low-income schools by supporting activities such as teacher recruitment and retention, teacher professional development, educational technology, parental involvement, or any activities authorized under Title I, Part A, Title II Part A, Title III, or Title IV, Part A, pursuant to Section 5222(a) of the ESEA. Warrants will be mailed to each county treasurer approximately three weeks from the date of this Notice.

Final allocations for eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) are based on each LEA’s average daily attendance as of the 2018–19 Second Principal Apportionment, multiplied by an approximate rate of $30.56. The amount included in this apportionment reflects the remaining balance of each LEA’s 2020–21 final allocation for those LEAs that applied for Title V, Part B, Subpart 2 funding on the 2020–21 Consolidated Application Reporting System.
