LEAs receiving formula allocations of $30,000 or more must conduct a comprehensive needs assessment and, based on the results of that assessment, use not less than 20 percent of their allocations for activities to support well-rounded educational opportunities, not less than 20 percent for activities to support safe and healthy students, and a portion to support the effective use of technology. LEAs receiving formula allocations less than $30,000 must use funds to carry out activities in at least one of these three areas. LEAs may reserve up to 2 percent of their allocations for administrative costs. Each subgrant awarded must be for a term of 1 year and in an amount of not less than $10,000.
