The Georgia Department of Education and school
districts across Georgia are conducting the Consolidation of Funds
Initiative to fully consolidate federal, state, and local funds in
specific Title I schools that operate schoolwide programs. Once these
funds are consolidated, the federal funds lose their identity as federal
funds, and expenditures of those funds are no longer limited to the
federal requirements for individual programs. A schoolwide program
school that consolidates federal program funds “is not required to meet
most statutory or regulatory requirements of the program applicable at
the school level, but must meet the intent and purposes of that program to ensure that the needs of the intended
beneficiaries are met."
