From amounts made available to carry out this subtitle, the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall award grants to States to implement high-quality prekindergarten programs, consistent with the purposes of this subtitle. For each fiscal year, the funds provided under the grant shall equal the allotment determined for the State under section 114. Each State that certifies to the Secretary that it provides access to universally available, voluntary, high-quality prekindergarten programs for 4-year old children who reside within the State and are from families with incomes at or below 200 percent of the poverty line, may use the State’s allotment under section 114(b) to provide high-quality prekindergarten programs for 3-year old children who reside within the State and are from families with incomes at or below 200 percent of the poverty line.
In each State that has a city, county, or local educational agency that provides universally available, voluntary, high-quality prekindergarten programs for 4-year old children who reside within the State and are from families with incomes at or below 200 percent of the poverty line, the State may use amounts from the State’s allotment under section 114(b) to award subgrants to eligible local entities to enable such entities to provide high-quality prekindergarten programs for 3-year old children who are from families with incomes at or below 200 percent of the poverty line and who reside in such city, county, or local educational agency without diminishing access for 4-year old children in other parts of the State.
