Reallocation Procedures for Title V, Part B, Subpart 2 Rural and Low-Income Schools Program Funds
To minimize the occurrence of unliquidated Title V, Part B, Subpart 2, Rural and Low-Income Schools (RLIS) Program funds due to school divisions failing to expend and/or request reimbursement for the full amount of funds that they are awarded, school divisions are required to encumber 85 percent of each award year’s RLIS allocation by September 30 of the following year (within 15 months). School divisions are permitted to carry over up to 15 percent of their RLIS allocation for any fiscal year.
The Virginia Department of Education (Department) will reallocate RLIS funds that have not been expended within the allotted 15-month period of each program year to other eligible school divisions.
