Federal funds are currently allocated through four (4) statutory formula that are based primarily on census poverty estimates and the cost of education in each state:

1. Basic Grants - provide funds to LEAs in which the number of children counted in the formula (formula children) is at least 10 and exceeds 2 percent of an LEA's school-age population.
2. Concentration Grants - provide funds to LEAs that are eligible for Basic Grants and in which the number of formula children exceeds 6,500 or 15 percent of an LEA’s total school-age population.
3. Targeted Grants - are based on the same data used for Basic and Concentration Grants except that the data are weighted so that LEAs with higher numbers or higher percentages of children receive more funds. Targeted Grants provide funds to LEAs in which the number of formula children (without application of the formula weights) is at least 10 and at least 5 percent of the LEA's school-age population.
4. Education Finance Incentive Grants (EFIG) - distribute funds to States based on factors that measure:

1. a State's effort to provide financial support for education compared to its relative wealth as measured by its per capita income; and
2. the degree to which education expenditures among LEAs within the State are equalized.

An LEA’s Title I allocation is the sum of the amount the LEA receives under each formula. LEAs target the Title I funds they receive to schools with the highest percentages of children from low-income families. If a Title I school is operating a targeted assistance program, the school provides Title I services to children who are identified as failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet challenging, State academic standards.

Schools in which children from low-income families make up at least 40 percent of enrollment are eligible to use Title I funds to operate schoolwide programs that serve all children in the school in order to raise the achievement of the lowest-achieving students. There is an exception to the 40% rule, as articulated in ESEA 1114 §(a)(1)(B) EXCEPTION — A school that serves an eligible school attendance area in which less than 40 percent of the children are from low-income families, or a school for which less than 40 percent of the children enrolled in the school are from such families, may operate a schoolwide program under this section if the school receives a waiver from the State educational agency to do so, after taking into account how a schoolwide program will best serve the needs of the students in the school served under this part in improving academic achievement and other factors.

LEAs also must engage in timely and meaningful consultation with nonpublic school officials, as applicable, to provide Title I-funded services, on an equitable basis and individually or in combination, to best meet the needs of eligible children identified under ESEA §1115(c), who are enrolled in the nonpublic schools.
