Title IV, Part A FAQ

Q. Does Title IV, Part A have a supplement, not supplant clause?

A. Yes. Section 4110 of the ESSA requires that funds be used to supplement, not supplant allowable activities.

Q: What does supplement, not supplant mean in the context of Title IV, Part A?

A: Section 4110 of the Every Student Succeeds Act, Pub. L. No. 114-95, requires that Student Support and Academic Enrichment program funds be used to supplement, and not supplant, non-federal funds that would otherwise be used for activities authorized by the SSAE program. This means that a state educational agency or local educational agency may not use SSAE program funds to carry out activities that would otherwise be paid for with state or local funds. In making that determination, SEAs and LEAs should consider matters such as whether the cost involved is currently paid for using state or local funds or is for an activity required by state or local law.
