Search 42 U.S.C. § 1759 : US Code - Section 1759: Direct disbursement to schools by Secretary

(a) The Secretary shall withhold funds payable to a State under
this chapter and disburse the funds directly to schools,
institutions, or service institutions within the State for the
purposes authorized by this chapter to the extent that the
Secretary has so withheld and disbursed such funds continuously
since October 1, 1980, but only to such extent (except as otherwise
required by subsection (b) of this section). Any funds so withheld
and disbursed by the Secretary shall be used for the same purposes,
and shall be subject to the same conditions, as applicable to a
State disbursing funds made available under this chapter. If the
Secretary is administering (in whole or in part) any program
authorized under this chapter, the State in which the Secretary is
administering the program may, upon request to the Secretary,
assume administration of that program.
(b) If a State educational agency is not permitted by law to
disburse the funds paid to it under this chapter to any of the
nonpublic schools in the State, the Secretary shall disburse the
funds directly to such schools within the State for the same
purposes and subject to the same conditions as are authorized or
required with respect to the disbursements to public schools within
the State by the State educational agency.
