<p class="MsoNormal">Illinois would probably allow this expense because it supports the ELL learners participating in the project activities (which are educational aka training projects).

<p class="MsoNormal">Have a grant applicant that wants the cost of transportation of patrons to programs covered by LSTA funds. They hire out a private bus company and pay them to transport them to the library for ELL classes. Is this an allowable cost?
