The LEA Planning Cycle Application
25
LEA Planning Cycle ApplicationDefined as…
A summary of needs, goals, objectives, strategies and activities* derived from a comprehensive needs assessment by the Local Educational Agency. It is based on identified needs of the district after an analysis of achievement trends in its local schools.

Purpose … Target goals, objectives, strategies and
activities* to address identified challenges for program design
*New for 2011-12
27
LEA Planning Cycle ApplicationThe LEAPC Application is…• Required for districts seeking/receiving
Federal funds.• Located on the AdvancED website.• Available now.• Due on or before July 1, 2011 as part of
the Consolidated Application and Title I School Selection Application which still reside in MEGS (for a July 1 obligation date).
28
LEA Planning Cycle ApplicationTo be completed in the AdvancED Portal uploaded as a PDF into the Consolidated Application* …• The LEAPC must have a minimum of three and a maximum of five goals • The source of data for determining the need must be indicated• Consolidated Application funds must clearly support stated needs*New for 2011-12

Other Budget Considerations
106
General Budget Review Considerations
• All activities must be linked to the stated needs and plan
• Items included in the budget must connect with the needs, goals, objectives, strategies and activities in the LEA Planning Cycle
• Budget items must have sufficient description to determine if they are supplemental in nature, necessary, reasonable and allowable according to funding sources. Items included in the budget for supplies and materials must be descriptive
107
• Title I, Part A legislation requires that services for homeless students in its non-Title I schools are comparable to services provided to its homeless students in Title I
Services to Homeless Students
108
Services to Homeless Students
• Services to homeless students are to be coordinated with the district’s designated homeless liaison
• If the federal programs coordinator and the homeless liaison are the same person, then collaboration must take place with additional stakeholders
109
Title I and HomelessAppropriate Reservation
• Collaborate with district homeless liaison or additional stakeholders, if appropriate
• Identify the homeless students and their academic or additional needs
• Determine a reasonable amount
110
Homeless StudentsSet Aside - Reservation
Four Methods1. Determine a reasonable amount in
collaboration with HL based upon number of homeless and academic and/or educationally related academic needs
2. Count of homeless, identify academic needs or additional educationally related needs and multiply by district’s Title I, Part A per pupil allocation or by average per pupil allocation
111
Homeless StudentsSet Aside, Continued
3. Reserve an amount of funds greater than or equal to the amount of an LEA’s McKinney-Vento sub-grant total, if applicable
4. Reserve a specific percentage based on your district’s poverty level or total Title I, Part A allocation
