Summary: The US Department of Education has invited states to participate in the submission of specific waivers pertaining to Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) given the significant funding for programs provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) allocations for 2009-2010.
Mt. Diablo Unified is applying to the California Department of Education for a waiver to exclude all of the Title I, Part A ARRA funding from the 20% mandatory set aside requirement for Supplemental Educational Services (SES) and school-choice transportation. This $742,029 mandatory set aside is in addition to the $1 million currently set aside from Title I Part A to cover the cost of SES and school-choice transportation. Each LEA interested in accessing these waiver options must develop and submit a Title I, Part A Waiver Application and Plan Template to the California Department of Education. It is important to note that Mt. Diablo Unified has met all of the demands for SES and school-choice transportation as listed on page 7 in Section II (a) of the Title I Part A Waiver Application.
