Consolidated Application (ConApp)

Due: Thursday, June 30, 2011

The Consolidated Application is used by the California Department of Education to distribute categorical funds from various state and federal programs (e.g., Economic Impact Aid, Title I, Part A) to county offices, school districts, and charter schools throughout California. In June of each year, every local educational agency (LEA) submits Part I of the application to document participation in categorical programs and provide assurances that the LEA will comply with the legal requirements of each program. Part II of the application, submitted in January of the following year, contains the LEA's entitlements for each funded program. Out of each state and federal program entitlement, LEAs allocate funds for indirect costs of administration for programs operated by the LEA and for programs operated at schools.
