09.21.09: Title 1 Comparability
San Diego County has provided the following information regarding Title 1 comparability review requirements:
The CDE annually identifies which LEAs are required to demonstrate comparability with Title I, Part A, and those LEAs that are not required to demonstrate comparability. LEAs with a single attendance area, a single attendance area at each grade span, or less than 1,000 students are not required to meet comparability (reference: Title I Non-Regulatory Guidance, Local Educational Agency Identification and Selection of School Attendance Areas and Schools and Allocation of Title I Funds to Those Areas and Schools). See CDE website http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/sw/t1/compar.asp
Based on the information above, many small districts are exempt from the comparability requirement but All LEAs will still need to fill in Forms A and B.
