After reserving funds under section 203(a), the Secretary shall allocate the remaining funds appropriated under section 212 to States, of which— 60 percent shall be allocated to States on the basis of their relative population of individuals aged 5 through 17; and 40 percent shall be allocated to States on the basis of their relative total population. The Secretary shall award a State’s allocation under subsection
(a)to the Governor of the State only if the Secretary has approved the State’s application under section 205. If, within 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a Governor has not submitted an approvable application to the Secretary, the Secretary shall, consistent with paragraph (2), provide for funds allocated to that State to be distributed to another entity or other entities in the State for the support of early childhood, elementary, and secondary education, under such terms and conditions as the Secretary may establish. The Secretary shall not allocate funds under paragraph
(1)unless the Governor of the State provides an assurance to the Secretary that the State will for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 meet the requirements of section 209. Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the Secretary may allocate up to 50 percent of the funds that are available to the State under paragraph
(1)to another entity or entities in the State, provided that the State educational agency submits data to the Secretary demonstrating that the State will for fiscal year 2014 meet the requirements of section 209(a) or the Secretary otherwise determines that the State will meet those requirements, or such comparable requirements as the Secretary may establish, for that year. An entity that receives funds under paragraph
(1)shall use those funds in accordance with the requirements of this subtitle. If a State does not receive funding under this subtitle or only receives a portion of its allocation under subsection (c), the Secretary shall reallocate the State’s entire allocation or the remaining portion of its allocation, as the case may be, to the remaining States in accordance with subsection (a).
