Request Title Allow PreK Balances for Start-up Grants
Biennium 2014-2016
Budget Round Amended Bill
Half Sheet Number 136#12c
Description

This language amendment requires DOE to offer any unobligated balances for one-time grants, with priority to proposals to expand the use of partnerships with either nonprofit or for-profit providers, as is currently allowed but limited in actual use. This is in lieu of new provisions proposed in the introduced budget authorizing unused but appropriated funds for the Virginia Preschool Initiative for at-risk four-year-olds to school divisions that have used 100 percent of their state allocated slots and also have waiting lists beginning the second year (instead of sweeping end-of-year balances that may exist even after assumed nonparticipation). Under the introduced budget, the number of slots allocated would have been determined using the balance of the number of slots estimated to calculate the fiscal year 2016 appropriation and the number of actual slots to be used for fiscal year 2016 as reported on the May 15th Pre-K grant proposals submitted by school divisions. Current budget language authorizes DOE to expend unobligated balances for grants to qualifying school divisions for one-time expenses, other than capital, related to start-up or expansion of programs.
