  16. Supplement vs. Supplant • State and local funds must be used for all activities that are a district responsibility • A district is responsible for all school operating requirements under state and local laws or policy

  17. Supplement vs. Supplant • Cannot use federal funds to pay for services, staff, programs, or materials that would otherwise be paid with state or local funds. • Always ask: “What would have happened in the absence of federal funds?” • Easy tip: • Supplement means EXTRA • Supplant means REPLACING

  18. Title III Guidance on Supplement/Supplant • Supplement/Supplant decisions are very fact specific: • Is the instructional program or service provided to all students? • What does the district do to meet the Laurequirement? • What services are required by otherFederal, State, and local laws or regulations? • Was the program previously providedwith State, local, and Federal funds?
