f. 1. E. You Must Describe How Your Agency Will Allocate Any of Those Funds Among Any Consortia That Will Be Formed Among Postsecondary Institutions, and How Funds Will Be Allocated Among the Members of the Consortia, Including the Rationale for Such Allocations. (section 122(c)(6)(b); Section 202(c))
Current Narrative:
In the MN Single State Plan, allocation of funds at the consortia level would include minimally one secondary partner and one secondary partner.For the transition year, Minnesota utilized the same structure of independent school districts, colleges, and consortia that existed during the final year of Perkins III for the allocation of funds. Funds were distributed to the designated fiscal agent for any district, college, or consortia with the understanding that consortium funds were to be used only in such a way that benefits the entire consortium.
The expectation that consortium funding benefits the entire consortium will carry forward under the new consortium structure and will be applied across secondary and postsecondary lines. The affixing of signatures of both college presidents and district superintendents to the local application will be evidence that the planned use of funds will be seen as providing benefit across the new consortium.
