Assurances
Assurances specific to Title V, Part A are listed on page three of the LEA application form attached.
The Department of Education has developed and implemented a document entitled “General Terms, Assurances
and Conditions for Participation in Federal and State Programs”, to comply with: 34 CFR Part 76.301 of the
Education Department General Administration Regulations (EDGAR) which requires local educational agencies
to submit a common assurance for participation in federal programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education;
applicable regulations of other Federal agencies; and State regulations and laws pertaining to the expenditure of
state funds.
In order to receive funding, applicants must have on file with the Department of Education, Office of the
Comptroller, and a signed statement by the agency head certifying applicant adherence to these General
Assurances for Participation in State or Federal Programs. The complete text may be found at
http://www.firn.edu/doe/comptroller/gbook.htm (A hard copy is available upon request.)
School Districts, Community Colleges, Universities and State Agencies
The certification of adherence filed with the Department of Education Comptroller’s Office shall remain in effect
indefinitely unless a change occurs in federal or state law, or there are other changes in circumstances affecting a
term, assurance, or condition; and does not need to be resubmitted with this application.
General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) – See page seven of the application
All applicants for federal funds must address the provision of Section 427 of the General Education Provisions
Act (GEPA), enacted as part of the Improving America’s Schools Act, P.L. 103-382, 1994: This provision
requires each school district to provide a description of the steps the school district proposes to take to ensure
equitable access to, and participation in, its federal assisted program(s) for students, teachers, and other program
beneficiaries with special needs; The provision allows applicants discretion in developing the required
description(s); The statute highlights six types of barriers that can impede equitable access or participation:
gender, race, national origin, color, disability, or age; Section 427 is not intended to replace the requirements of
civil rights statutes, but rather to ensure that, in designing programs, applicants for federal funds address equity
concerns that may affect the ability of certain potential beneficiaries to fully participate in the program and to
achieve to high standards; and consistent with the program requirements and its approved application, an
applicant may use the federal funds awarded it to eliminate barriers it identified.
