Consortia

SEC. 3114. Within-State Allocation(b) LIMITATION. – A State educational agency shall not award a subgrant from an allocation made under subsection (a) if the amount of such subgrant would be less than $10,000.

Consortia – Current Structure• The current consortia model utilizes a

RESA approach to allocating subgrants. Essentially the RESA is a fiscal agency to transfer funds to LEA’s. – No accountability is established at the RESA

level for monitoring or strategic planning.• The alignment of LEA’s in the current

consortia model does not correspond directly with the established WV geographical grouping of district in RESA’s. – Currently RESA 4 and RESA 6 are functioning

as a fiscal agency

Proposal for Restructure

• Subgrant allocation is allotted to a regional educational center that services multiple LEA’s (RESA). – Fiscal agent for the grant and issues

subgrants to the individual LEA’s that do not meet the $10,000 minimum.

– RESA retains a portion of federal allocation from each LEA
