(

a) For purposes of this part,

Part 37 (commencing with

Section 64001), and

Part 38 (commencing with

Section 65000), a local educational agency is defined as a county office of education, school district, or charter school. (

b) Each local educational agency that elects to apply for funds under this part may submit to the department for approval by the state board a single consolidated application for approval or continuance of those federal categorical programs subject to this part. (

c) This part shall apply to applications for funds under the following programs:

(1) Federal funds provided to the state through the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) (Public Law 89-10), as amended by the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) (Public Law 114-95). These funds exclude those congressional acts funded other than ESEA or ESSA that are provided through federal acts or grants separate from ESEA or ESSA and those ESSA funds that are allocated separately from the consolidated application process.

(2) State categorical programs that are not funded through the local control funding formula. Carryover funds from state categorical programs that have a sunset under their own provisions shall be subject to this part. (

Section 52063, that the application was developed with the review and advice of that committee.
