From the grant funds made available to a State under this Act for any fiscal year— the State shall use not less than 95 percent to award subgrants to local consortia under subsection (b); the State may use not less than 3 percent for evaluation and capacity building activities, including training, technical assistance, and professional development; and the State may use not more than 2 percent for the administrative costs of carrying out responsibilities under this Act. A State that receives a grant under this Act shall use the portion of the grant funds described in subsection (a)(1) to award subgrants to local consortia.
In awarding subgrants to local consortia, a State shall give priority to applications from local consortia— that— propose to serve children and youth in schools designated by the State educational agency as persistently lowest-achievement schools; or that include at least one persistently lowest-achieving school, as determined by the State; and that propose to provide a comprehensive continuum of services, including not less than 1 service from each of not less than 3 categories of services described in paragraphs
(3)through
(11)of section 10(b), which proposal— shall be submitted by local consortia comprised of a broad representation of stakeholders and decisionmakers in the community, including a multitude of community partners described in section 4(5)(B); or shall demonstrate the capacity for successful implementation through a history of successful collaboration and effectiveness in strengthening outcomes for children and youth. Each subgrant awarded under this section shall be for a period of 5 years and shall be renewable based on progress toward achieving the results described in section 9(b)(2)(A). A State that receives a grant under this Act may award planning grants to local consortia to enable the local consortia to develop the local strategy described in section 9(b). Such planning grants shall be for a duration of— not more than 6 months and in an amount of not more than $50,000; or not more than 1 year and in an amount of not more than $100,000. A State that receives a grant under this Act shall use the grant funds to supplement, not supplant, Federal and non-Federal funds available to support child and youth services. A State that receives grant funding under this Act for a fiscal year shall use the grant funds to award an amount, in the aggregate, of subgrant funding under section 8 to rural local consortia in the State that is not less than the amount that bears the same relation to the amount of the grant funding as the amount received by local educational agencies serving rural local consortia in the State under subpart 2 of part A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 6331 et seq. ) for the preceding fiscal year bears to the amount received by the State under such subpart for the preceding fiscal year. In this subsection the term rural local consortium means a local consortium serving an area of the State that has a locale code of 41, 42, or 43.
