1 WHAT LAWS APPLY TO FEDERAL GRANTS: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE LEIGH M. MANASEVIT, ESQ. LMANASEVIT@BRUMAN.COM BRUSTEIN & MANASEVIT, PLLC SPRING FORUM s: Congress began recognizing unmet educational needs Children in Poverty Students with Disabilities Vocational Training Limited English Proficient Students Homeless Students 2 Federal education programs Designed to address specific unmet needs 3 1

2 LIMITED FEDERAL CAPACITY State administered programs created 4 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE Education responsibility generally given to the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) United States Office of Education Divided into program bureaus with specific responsibility Elementary and Secondary Education Vocational Education Special Education, etc. 5 OFFICE OF EDUCATION Bureaus: Responsibility for individual program Individual programs contained separate administrative rules Not always consistent Burdensome due to differing requirements 6 2

3 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (ED) IN 1980 Education responsibility transferred HEW becomes ED and Health & Human Services (HHS) 7 ED Separation of program function is preserved Funds allocated to States for program administration Funds allocated to States for distribution to school districts local education agencies (LEAs) 8 STATE EDUCATION AGENCIES (SEAs) SEAs expanded Significant function: Administer federal programs Divided into program offices Generally reflect federal organization Examples Elementary and Secondary Students with Disabilities Career Education 9 3

4 Federal Government recognizes inefficiency! Programs with separate administrative requirements Duplication of efforts Inconsistent requirements Changes need to be program by program Leads to administrative standardization 10 ADMINISTRATIVE STANDARDIZATION General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) Single Audit Act Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars 11 GEPA Part of the organic law establishing ED s structure Cross-cutting provisions 12 4

5 EDGAR Department of Education administrative rules covering all ED programs 13 SINGLE AUDIT ACT OMB CIRCULAR A-133 Standardized audit requirements for all entities expending > $500,000 federal $ annually 14 OMB CIRCULARS Government-wide principles for determining what costs are allowable 15 5

6 EXAMPLE: APPLICATION OF FEDERAL LAWS/AUTHORITIES Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (Title I) Authorized by No Child Left Behind in 2002 Analysis of applicability of federal laws/authorities to Title I 16 EXAMPLE: TITLE I HOW MUCH MONEY WILL WE RECEIVE? Congress appropriates a total amount for the Nation Title I formula allocates to Local Education Agencies (LEA) Funds flow SEA LEA All based on formula in the law 17 HOW CAN WE SPEND THESE FUNDS? Always begin with program statute Ask: a) What can we do? b) Who can we serve? c) Any specific restrictions? 18 6

7 TITLE I, PART A TARGETED ASSISTANCE Congress mandates Title I is for: a) Educational Supports What qualifies as an educational support? b) Educationally Disadvantaged Student Who are the educationally disadvantaged students? c) Supplemental Services What are the additional fiscal rules? Non supplant Maintenance of Effort Comparability 19 TITLE I, PART A TARGETED ASSISTANCE (CONT.) d) Services to students in private schools How do I determine amount of funding? What are the uses? e) Schools served on basis of poverty rates Which schools can be served with Title I funds? 20 TITLE I, PART A Law contains basic requirements Further explanations: Regulations Guidance Letters 21 7

8 WHAT CONTROLS THE STATE LEA RELATIONSHIP REGARDING THE FEDERAL PROGRAMS? Part CFR Part 76 (Code of Federal Regulations) LEA applies to the State for funding State notifies LEA Amount Timing Federal requirements applicable SEA assures intended uses are within the law LEA commits to follow the plan it submits to SEA 22 GENERAL EDUCATION PROVISIONS ACT (GEPA) GEPA: Is the program subject to the crosscutting authority of ED on State Administered Programs? Applicable program Program for which the Secretary of Education has administrative responsibility No Child Left Behind Act Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act 23 GEPA EDGAR EDGAR applies and expands GEPA requirements Application Process State applies to ED Local Education Agency (LEA) applies to State (SEA) 24 8

9 GEPA EDGAR Funds flow ED SEA LEA States are responsible for, and must monitor, LEA compliance SEAs are responsible to ED to properly administer federal grant funds 25 GEPA EDGAR Privacy rights of students protected 26 GEPA EDGAR Funds flow to SEA after ED approves application Funds flow to LEA after SEA approves local application Available for 27 months for obligation Obligation is not expenditure 90 days additional for liquidation Obligation defined 27 9

10 GEPA - EDGAR Record requirements and retention rules Services to private school students See also program statute rules on private school student participation 28 EDGAR Uniform Grant Rules Pre/post award requirements Program income Property management Procurement process Subgrants In most major education programs, LEAs are allocated funds based on a formula enacted by Congress May not subgrant unless authorized by law 29 SINGLE AUDIT ACT OMB CIRCULAR A-133 Historically: Audit requirements historically separate and within program statutes Requirements inconsistent Single Audit Act (A-133) Requires audit by independent auditor of federal programs whenever recipient expends over $500,000 federal funds all services Creates uniform standards of Independence Selection of items to be audited Auditing standards Contains program guides for auditor use Compliance supplements 30 10

11 SINGLE AUDIT ACT OMB CIRCULAR A-133 Compliance Supplement Each major program Guide developed by ED/OMB Important resource ED view of important elements Auditor responsibility 31 OMB CIRCULARS Government-wide Contain general principles for determining allowable costs ulars/ 32 OMB CIRCULAR A-87 Covers state-local governments Applicable to SEAs, LEAs 33 11

12 OMB CIRCULAR A-87 TITLE I, PART A Example Can I use Title I to buy a computer to provide educational support? Necessary Reasonable Allocable 34 EDGAR What procurement process do I use? What property management (inventory) do I need? 35 OMB CIRCULAR A ITEMS OF COST Can I pay for attendance at a professional development meeting for a Title I teacher? What documentation do I need to support salary payments? 36 12

13 POSSIBLE MASSIVE CHANGES TO CIRCULARS NPRM 2/1/13 Close of comment period: Extended 06/02/13 Analysis of public comment Final regulation not likely before 1/1/14 EDGAR revisions within one year of final regulation? No splitting FY 37 WHY SUPERCIRCULAR??? 1. Greater simplicity 2. Greater consistency 3. Obama Executive Order on Regulatory Review 2011 Increase efficiency Strengthen oversight 38 SINGLE AUDITS Single Audit Threshold is raised from $500,000 in federal annual expenditures to $750,

14 COOPERATIVE AUDIT RESOLUTION Improve communication, foster collaboration, promote trust, develop understanding between auditor and auditee 40 COOPERATIVE AUDIT RESOLUTION This approach is based upon Federal Agencies offering appropriate amnesty for past noncompliance when audits show prompt corrective action 41 REFORMS TO A-21, A-87, A-122 Consolidating to one Circular Significant changes to Time and Effort!! 42 14

15 WHAT IS COVERED? 1. Administrative Requirements (A- 102, A-110) 2. Cost Principles (A-87, A-21, A- 122) 3. Audit Requirements (A-133) 43 GEPA And finally What happens if I don t follow the rules? Enforcement procedures Recovery of funds Termination of program High Risk States Compliance Agreement 44 QUESTIONS? 45 15
