| Districts that do not obligate 15 percent or less of their Title I, Part A funds for a given fiscal year may carryover the unobligated funds and obligate them during the succeeding fiscal year. Districts may request a waiver to exceed the 15 percent carryover limitation once every three years. Districts receiving a Title I, Part A allocation that is less than $50,000 per year may carryover unobligated funds without limitation.

| Title I Comparability Reporting |
| Districts receiving Title I, Part A funds are required by federal legislation to conduct an annual review of their local and state expenditures to ensure Title I and non-Title I schools receive a distribution of those funds on an equivalent basis, and to maintain documentation of the results and the action taken, if necessary, to remedy findings of non-comparability. Districts with fewer than 100 students enrolled in each of their schools, and those having only one school per grade span are exempt from this requirement. All districts receiving Title I, Part A funds need to log in to the comparability report. If exempt, print the exemption page for your files and exit the report. If not exempt, complete and submit the report accordingly. |
