REAP - Small Rural School Achievement Program and Rural and Low-Income School Program
Accountability Requirements
Accountability is an essential component of REAP-Flex. LEAs must comply with the accountability requirements in section 6213 of the ESEA.
SRSA Programs -- Districts that fail to make AYP after three years may continue to participate in REAP-Flex and the SRSA grant program only if the LEA uses all “applicable funding” (i.e., funds the LEA receives by formula under Title II.A, Title II.D, Title IV.A and Title V.A) and SRSA grant funds to carry out the improvement requirements of section 1116 of the ESEA. Uses of funds are restricted to those identified in the NCLB LEA Improvement Plan.
RLIS Program -- Districts that fail to make AYP after three years may continue to receive RLIS funds only if the LEA uses the funds to carry out the improvement requirements of section 1116 of the ESEA. Uses of funds are restricted to those identified in the NCLB LEA Improvement Plan.
Under the “transferability” authority in Section 6123, LEAs that have been identified for improvement may transfer up to 30 percent of each fiscal year’s funds and the transferred funds must be used for LEA improvement activities consistent with section 1116 of ESEA. An LEA that has been identified for corrective action may not transfer any funds.
