The statute contains four formulas for allocating Title I funds basic grants, concentration grants, targeted grants, and the Education Finance Incentive Program but Congress has to date appropriated funds only for the basic and concentration formulas. Basic grants have existed since the program's inception in 1965; concentration grants were added in 1978 to provide additional funds to school districts with high concentrations of school-age children in poverty (Moskowitz et al., 1993~.

Historically, there has been no hold-harmless provision for concentration grants, but in fiscal 1996, a hold-harmless provision applied to both formulas at a rate of 100 percent: that is, a county could not receive less funds than it had received in fiscal 1995. Beginning in fiscal 1997, the holdharmless provision applies to basic grants at variable rates, with a higher rate for higher poverty counties and school districts: counties and districts with 30 percent or more poor school-age children are guaranteed at least 95 percent of the prior year's grant; the guarantee is 90 percent for counties with 15-30 percent poor school-age children and 85 percent for counties with fewer than 15 percent poor school-age children.
