Subject to the requirements of this Act, each State is entitled to receive from the Secretary of the Treasury, by not later than July 1 of the preceding fiscal year— a grant for fiscal year 2021 and each succeeding fiscal year through fiscal year 2029, that is equal to the amount of funds appropriated for the State for Federal elementary school and secondary school programs for fiscal year 2021 (except for the funds appropriated for fiscal year 2021 for such programs for such State that are being transferred under section 7); and a grant for fiscal year 2021 and each succeeding fiscal year through fiscal year 2029, that is equal to the amount of funds appropriated for the State for Federal postsecondary education programs for fiscal year 2021 (except for the funds appropriated for fiscal year 2021 for such programs for such State that are being transferred under section 7).
Out of any money in the Treasury of the United States not otherwise appropriated, there are appropriated for fiscal years 2021 through 2029, such sums as are necessary for grants under subsection (a). The Secretary of the Treasury shall make the transfer of funds under grants under subsection
(a)directly to each State in accordance with the requirements of section 6503 of title 31, United States Code. Amounts received by a State under this section for any fiscal year shall be expended by the State in such fiscal year or in the succeeding fiscal year. Funds made available to a State— under subsection (a)(1), shall be used by the State for any elementary or secondary education purpose permitted by State law, including increases in teacher salaries; and under subsection (a)(2), shall be used by the State for any postsecondary education purpose permitted by State law. A grant received under subsection
(a)shall only be used to supplement the amount of funds that would, in the absence of such grant, be made available from non-Federal sources for elementary school and secondary school programs or postsecondary education programs, and not to supplant those funds.
