(a) Payment for school improvement

(1) In general

Except as provided in paragraph (3), each State may reserve for the proper and efficient performance of its duties under subsections (c)(5) and (d) of section 6317 of this title, and section 6318 of this title, one-half of 1 percent of the funds allocated to the State under subsections (a), (c), and (d),¹ of section 6302 of this title for fiscal year 1995 and each succeeding fiscal year.

(2) Minimum

The total amount that may be reserved by each State, other than the outlying areas, under this subsection for any fiscal year, when added to amounts appropriated for such fiscal year under section 6302(f) of this title that are allocated to the State under subsection (b) of this section, if any, may not be less than $200,000. The total amount that may be reserved by each outlying area under this subsection for any fiscal year, when added to amounts appropriated for such fiscal year under section 6302(f) of this title that are allocated under subsection (b) of this section to the outlying area, if any, may not be less than $25,000.

(3) Special rule

If the amount reserved under paragraph (1) when added to the amount made available under section 6302(f) of this title for a State is less than $200,000 for any fiscal year, then such State may reserve such additional funds under subsections (a), (c), and (d) of section 6302 of this title as are necessary to make $200,000 available to such State.

(b) Additional State allocations for school improvement

From the amount appropriated under section 6302(f) of this title for any fiscal year, each State shall be eligible to receive an amount that bears the same ratio to the amount appropriated as the amount allocated to the State under this part (other than section 6321(e) of this title) bears to the total amount allocated to all States under this part (other than section 6321(e) of this title).
