Developing My LEA’s Supplemental Title III Program
Do all of the items on my local plan and budget narrative meet the following criteria?
Are they allowable? Are they allocable? Are they reasonable and necessary to carry out grant
function? Determine whether they should be included in the 2%
limit as administrative costs?

Supplement, Not Supplant Requirement – General
The First Test of Supplanting: Required by Law
The Department assumes supplanting exists if – An LEA uses Title III funds to provide services that the LEA is required to make available under State or local laws, or other Federal laws.
USDE, Student Achievement and School Accountability (SASA)
12
Supplement, Not Supplant Requirement – General
The Second Test of Supplanting: Prior Year
The Department assumes supplanting exists if – An LEA uses Title III funds to provide services that the LEA provided in the prior year with State, local or other federal funds.
This assumption can be rebutted.
USDE, Student Achievement and School Accountability (SASA)
13
To refute the “prior year” test of supplanting, the LEA would need to have contemporaneous records to confirm….
Budget cuts were made in a number of areas, not just for LEP students; and
There was in fact a reduced amount of State or local funds to pay for this activity/position; and
The LEA made the decisions to eliminate the position/activity without taking into consideration of Federal funds.
USDE, Student Achievement and School Accountability (SASA)
Questions to Ask When Considering Whether Title III Funds Can be Used
Without Violating the Supplement, not Supplant Requirement
1. What is the instructional program/service provided to all students?
2. What does the LEA do to meet Lau requirements?
3. What service is the LEA required by other Federal, State, and local laws or regulations to provide?
4. Was the program/service previously provided with State, local, and Federal funds?
