Is there any federal restriction on how states can limit who can get these funds? In other words, is the issue addressed of whether schools can be ineligible to apply if they previously have received competitive TitleIID funds in past years? I think the answer to this is no but I'm just checking. Here in Oklahoma, once a school has received TitleIID competitive funds they have not been allowed to reapply in the past. I know other states (Alabama and Texas as two examples) do not do this, and districts have won multiple competitive EETT grants in different years.
