States Fail To Use $66 Million In Federal Education Funds In 2004

States Fail To Use $66 Million In Federal Education Funds In 2004

States collectively returned more than $66 million in unused federal education funds to the U.S. Treasury last year instead of spending it on students
  • Written by American City & County Administrator
  • 21st March 2005

States collectively returned more than $66 million in unused federal education funds to the U.S. Treasury last year instead of spending it on students and schools, and they still have access to more than $6 billion in unused federal education funds dating back as far as the Clinton administration, official federal statistics show. Much of the returned money could have been used to implement federal laws such as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

The figures are among the highlights of an analysis of U.S. Department of Education data released by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce Committee.

Among the findings are:

— States collectively returned more than $66 million in unused federal education funds to the U.S. Treasury in 2004. Non-competitive “Formula” funds for initiatives such as Title I aid to disadvantaged students and IDEA accounted for approximately $42,199,680 of the returned funds. “Discretionary” funds awarded to states, local school districts and schools on a competitive basis accounted for $24,049,951.

— As of January 7, 2005, states collectively had access to more than $6 billion in unexpended federal education funds appropriated for their use in FYs 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. States had more than $325 million in unexpended funds originally appropriated under President Clinton (FYs 2000, 2001).

— The total amount of federal education money unused by states is increasing, not decreasing. As of January 6, 2004, states had approximately $5.75 billion in unused federal education funds. As of last month, the total was $6.05 billion – an increase of more than $295 million.
