“... AASA is concerned with the decision to shift a significantly larger proportion of dollars into competitive grant programs. While understanding the Obama Administration’s commitment to rewarding and duplicating successful programs and practices, AASA urges Congress to maintain formula grants to provide a more reliable stream of funding to local school districts. Formula-driven funding represents the dedicated funding stream that allows school districts to appropriately plan for and invest in innovation and reform. Our members are concerned that competitive grants will have a disproportionately negative impact on small and rural districts that do not have the capacity to prepare grant applications."
