ELEAS should refer to the program guide and or other program related resources that reference the multiple forms of documentation required to be maintained locally. The documentation requested for submission during the validation process
003may not include all forms of documentation that are required to be maintained locally. The title 2 PAR A statute requires that LEA prioritize the use of title 2 PAR A funds to schools are under title one school improvement and have the highest percentage of lowincome children. The required documentation for item 1.1 is documentation that shows evidence of prioritization of title 2 par a funds based on schools served by the LEA on the title one school improvement and or that have the highest percentage of low-income children. Acceptable documentation for this requirement may include a spreadsheet or relevant pages from the district improvement plan showing how title 2 a funds were prioritized for activities to benefit title one school improvement campuses and or campuses with the highest percentage of low-income children.

004improvement need in status include auditable documentation requested was not submitted. Documentation submitted does not demonstrate how title 2 a activities funds were prioritized to campuses. Prioritization was not related to school improvement status or lowincome children. Now let's go over the different resources and support.
