Purpose of Program: The purpose of the CSP is to increase national
understanding of the charter school model and to expand the number of
high-quality charter schools available to students across the Nation by
providing financial assistance for the planning, program design,
initial implementation, or expansion of charter schools; and to
evaluate the effects of charter schools, including their effects on
students, student academic achievement, staff, and parents.
The purpose of the CSP-Replication and Expansion of High-Quality
Charter Schools grant competition (CFDA 84.282M) is to award grants to
eligible entities for the replication and expansion of successful
charter school models.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 7221-7221j; Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2010, Division D, Title III, Public Law 111-117.
Note: The Department anticipates that an authority similar to
that in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, Division D, Title
III, Public Law 111-117 will be included in the legislation that
sets forth the Department's fiscal year 2011 appropriations.
Proposed Priorities
The Assistant Deputy Secretary for Innovation and Improvement
proposes the following four priorities for this program. We may apply
one or more of these priorities in any year in which this program is in
effect.
Proposed Priority 1--Experience Operating or Managing High-Quality
Charter Schools
Background
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, Division D, Title III,
Public Law 111-117 called for the Department to make awards to eligible
entities for the replication and expansion of ``successful'' charter
school models in fiscal year (FY) 2010. For FY 2011, the Department
anticipates that its appropriations statute will include similar
language. Accordingly, because the focus of this program is
specifically on the replication and expansion of ``successful'' charter
school models, the Department believes that it is important that
applicants have experience operating or managing multiple high-quality
charter schools. Examples of successful applications under this program
for FY 2010 can be found at http://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/education-secretary-arne-duncan-announces-twelve-grants-50-million-charter-schoo. The abstracts describing these projects are available at
http://www2.ed.gov/programs/charter-rehqcs/index.html.
[[Page 16755]]
Proposed Priority
This proposed priority is for projects that will provide for the
replication or expansion of high-quality charter schools by applicants
that currently operate or manage more than one high-quality charter
school (as defined in this notice).
Proposed Priority 2--Low-Income Demographic
Background
Under the program statute, in determining the quality of
applications from State educational agencies (SEAs) for CSP grants, the
Secretary considers such factors as the contribution the charter school
grant program will make to assisting educationally disadvantaged and
other students to meet State academic content and State student
academic achievement standards (20 U.S.C. 7221c(a)(1)). To help ensure
that grantees under this program are well-prepared to serve
educationally disadvantaged students, we propose a priority for
applicants that have experience serving individuals from low-income
families, which we believe is a close proxy for educationally
disadvantaged students and is easily determined at the administrative
level.
Proposed Priority
To meet this proposed priority, an applicant must demonstrate that
at least 60 percent of all students in the charter schools it currently
operates or manages are individuals from low-income families (as
defined in this notice).
Proposed Priority 3--School Improvement
Background
One of the Department's top priorities is to help turn around the
Nation's lowest-performing public schools. The Department's School
Improvement Grants, authorized under section 1003(g) of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended (20 U.S.C.
6303(g)), provide support for charter schools as an important partner
with local educational agencies (LEAs) in the school turnaround effort.
We propose this priority to support this effort further.
Proposed Priority
To meet this proposed priority, an applicant must demonstrate that
its proposed replication or expansion of one or more high-quality
charter schools will occur in partnership with, and will be designed to
assist, one or more LEAs in implementing academic or structural
interventions to serve students attending schools that have been
identified for improvement, corrective action, closure, or
restructuring under section 1116 of the ESEA, and as described in the
notice of final requirements for the School Improvement Grants,
published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2010 (75 FR 66363).
Proposed Priority 4--Promoting Diversity
Background
In order to promote diversity in high-quality charter schools, the
Secretary proposes a priority for applicants that propose projects
designed to promote racial diversity, or avoid racial isolation, and
serve students with disabilities and English learners at a rate equal
to or higher than the rate at which these students are served in public
schools in the surrounding area.
Proposed Priority
This proposed priority is for applicants that demonstrate a record
of (in the schools they currently operate or manage), as well as an
intent to continue (in schools that they will be creating or
substantially expanding under this grant), taking active measures to--
(a) Promote diversity in their student bodies, including racial and
ethnic diversity, or avoid racial isolation;
(b) Serve students with disabilities at a rate equal to or higher
than the rate at which these students are served in public schools in
the surrounding area; and
(c) Serve English learners at a rate equal to or higher than the
rate at which these students are served in public schools in the
surrounding area.
In support of this priority, applicants must provide enrollment
data as well as descriptions of existing policies and activities
undertaken or planned to be undertaken.
Types of Priorities
When inviting applications for a competition using one or more
priorities, we designate the type of each priority as absolute,
competitive preference, or invitational through a notice in the Federal
Register. The effect of each type of priority follows:
Absolute priority: Under an absolute priority, we consider only
applications that meet the priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(3)).
Competitive preference priority: Under a competitive preference
priority, we give competitive preference to an application by (1)
awarding additional points, depending on the extent to which the
application meets the priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2)
selecting an application that meets the priority over an application of
comparable merit that does not meet the priority (34 CFR
75.105(c)(2)(ii)).
Invitational priority: Under an invitational priority we are
particularly interested in applications that meet the priority.
However, we do not give an application that meets the priority a
preference over other applications (34 CFR 75.105(c)(1)).
Proposed Requirements
Background
Because the purpose of this grant program is to replicate or expand
high-quality charter schools, we propose to limit the use of funds to
the replication or substantial expansion of an existing high-quality
charter school that is based on the model or models for which the
applicant has presented evidence of success.
Proposed Requirements
The Assistant Deputy Secretary for Innovation and Improvement
proposes the following requirements for this program. We may apply one
or more of these requirements in any year in which this program is in
effect.
(a) Eligibility: To be eligible for an award, an eligible applicant
must meet the statutory requirements. The requirement listed below is
statutory; we are including it here for clarity. Eligible applicants
for this program are non-profit charter management organizations (CMOs)
and other not-for-profit entities.
Eligible applicants may also apply as a group or consortium.
(b) Funding Restrictions: Grantees under this program must use the
grant funds to replicate or substantially expand the model or models
for which the applicant has presented evidence of success, through the
activities described in section 5204(f)(3) of the ESEA (20 U.S.C.
7221c(f)(3)).
Note: A grantee may use up to 20 percent of grant funds for
initial operational costs associated with the expansion or
improvement of the grantee's oversight or management of its charter
schools provided that: (i) The specific charter schools being
created or substantially expanded under the grant are the intended
beneficiaries of such expansion or improvement, and (ii) such
expansion or improvement is intended to improve the grantee's
ability to manage or oversee the charter schools created or
substantially expanded under the grant.
(c) Reasonable and Necessary Costs. The Secretary may elect to
impose a maximum limit on the amount of grant funds that may be awarded
per charter
[[Page 16756]]
school replicated, per charter school substantially expanded, or per
new school seat created.
Note: Applicants must ensure that all costs included in the
proposed budget are reasonable and necessary in light of the goals
and objectives of the proposed project. Any costs determined by the
Secretary to be unreasonable or unnecessary will be removed from the
final approved budget.
(d) Other CSP Grants. A charter school that receives funds under
this competition is ineligible to receive funds for the same purpose
under section 5202(c)(2) of the ESEA, including for planning and
program design or the initial implementation of a charter school (i.e.,
CFDA 84.282A or 84.282B).
A charter school that has received CSP funds for replication
previously, or that has received funds for planning or initial
implementation of a charter school (i.e., CFDA 84.282A or 84.282B), may
not use funds under this grant for the same purpose. However, such
charter schools may be eligible to receive funds under this competition
to substantially expand the charter school beyond the existing grade
levels or student count.
Proposed Definitions
Background
Several terms associated with this program are not defined in
section 5210 of the ESEA. Therefore, we are proposing the following
definitions for these terms.
Proposed Definitions
The Assistant Deputy Secretary for Innovation and Improvement
proposes the following definitions for these grants. We may apply one
or more of these definitions in any year in which we award grants for
the replication and expansion of high-quality charter schools.
Charter management organization (CMO) is a nonprofit organization
that operates or manages multiple charter schools by centralizing or
sharing certain functions and resources among schools.
Educationally disadvantaged students includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, individuals from low-income families (as
defined elsewhere in this notice), English learners, migratory
children, children with disabilities, and neglected or delinquent
children.
High-quality charter school is a school that--shows evidence of
strong academic results for the past three years (or over the life of
the school, if the school has been open for fewer than three years),
based on the following factors:
(1) Increasing student academic achievement and attainment for all
students, including, as applicable, educationally disadvantaged
students served by the charter schools operated or managed by the
applicant.
(2) Either (i) Demonstrated success in closing historic achievement
gaps for the subgroups of students, described in section
1111(b)(2)(C)(v)(II) of the ESEA at the charter schools operated or
managed by the applicant, or
(ii) No significant achievement gaps between any of the subgroups
of students described in section 1111(b)(2)(C)(v)(II) of the ESEA at
the charter schools operated or managed by the applicant and
significant gains in student academic achievement have been made with
all populations of students served by the charter schools operated or
managed by the applicant.
(3) Achieved results (including performance on statewide tests,
annual student attendance and retention rates, high school graduation
rates, college attendance rates, and college persistence rates (where
applicable and available)) for low-income and other educationally
disadvantaged students served by the charter schools operated or
managed by the applicant that are above the average academic
achievement results for such students in the State.
(4) Has no significant compliance issues (as defined in this
notice), particularly in the areas of student safety and financial
management.
Individual from a low-income family means an individual who is
determined by an SEA or LEA to be a child, ages 5 through 17, from a
low-income family, on the basis of (a) data used by the Secretary to
determine allocations under section 1124 of the ESEA, (b) data on
children eligible for free or reduced-price lunches under the Richard
B. Russell National School Lunch Act, (c) data on children in families
receiving assistance under part A of title IV of the Social Security
Act, (d) data on children eligible to receive medical assistance under
the Medicaid program under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, or (e)
an alternate method that combines or extrapolates from the data in
items (a) through (d) of this definition (see 20 U.S.C. 6537(3)).
Replicate means to open one or more new charter schools that are
based on the charter school model or models for which the applicant has
presented evidence of success.
Significant compliance issue means a violation that did, will, or
could lead to the revocation of a school's charter.
Substantially expand means to increase the student count of an
existing charter school by more than 50 percent or to add at least two
grades to an existing charter school over the course of the grant.
Proposed Application Requirements
Background
In order to provide reviewers with sufficient information to judge
applications based on the selection criteria, we propose the following
application requirements.
Proposed Application Requirements
Applicants applying for CSP Grants for Replication and Expansion of
High-Quality Charter Schools funds must address both the following

applicant, provide the following information: The year founded, the
grades currently served, the number of students, the address, the
percentage of students in each subgroup of students described in
section 1111(b)(2)(C)(v)(II) of the ESEA, results on the State
assessment for the past three years (if available) by subgroup,
attendance rates, student attrition rates for the past three years, and
(if the school operates a 12th grade) high school graduation rates and
college attendance rates.
(n) Provide objective data showing applicant quality. In
particular, the Secretary requires the applicant provide the following
data:
(1) Performance (school-wide and by subgroup) for the past three
years (if available) on statewide tests of all charter schools operated
or managed by the applicant as compared to all students in other
schools in the State or States at the same grade level, and as compared
with other schools serving similar demographics of students;
(2) Annual student attendance and retention rates (school-wide and
by subgroup) for the past three years (or over the life of the school,
if the school has been open for fewer than three years), and
comparisons with other similar schools; and
(3) Where applicable and available, high school graduation rates,
college attendance rates, and college persistence rates (school-wide
and by subgroup) for the past three years (if available) of students
attending schools operated or managed by the applicant, and the
methodology used to calculate these rates. When reporting data for
schools in States that may have particularly demanding or low standards
of proficiency (for example, see the report available at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/pdf/studies/2010456.pdf), applicants are
invited to discuss how their academic success might be considered
against applicants from across the country.
(o) Provide such other information and assurances as the Secretary
may require.
Proposed Selection Criteria
Background
Originally authorized in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010
(and expected to continue under any legislation that provides the
Department's FY 2011 appropriations), the CSP-Replication and Expansion
of High-Quality Charter Schools grants are intended to assist eligible
entities in replicating and substantially expanding their successful
school models. To ensure that only applicants with successful models
and a demonstrated capacity to open and operate high-quality charter
schools receive grant funds, we have developed criteria to assess the
quality of applicants, as well as the quality of the organizations they
operate. We believe the following proposed selection criteria would
ensure that only the highest-quality charter schools will be created
and substantially expanded through these grants, and that the CSP's
mission of substantially expanding the number of high-quality charter
schools will be fulfilled. For this reason, we propose to award grants
to eligible entities on the basis of the quality of applications
submitted after taking into consideration one or more of the following
proposed selection criteria as well as the requirements in the
authorizing statute of the CSP and applicable Federal regulations.
Proposed Selection Criteria
The Assistant Deputy Secretary for Innovation and Improvement
proposes the following selection criteria for evaluating an application
under this program. We may apply one or more of these criteria, alone
or in combination with one or more selection criteria from section 34
CFR 75.210, in any year in which we award grants for the replication
and expansion of high-quality charter schools. In the notice inviting
applications or the application package, or both, we will announce the
maximum possible points assigned to each criterion.
(a) Quality of the eligible applicant. In determining the quality
of the applicant, the Secretary considers the following factors:
(1) The degree, including the consistency over the past three
years, to which the applicant has demonstrated success in significantly
increasing student academic achievement and attainment for all
students, including, as applicable, educationally disadvantaged
students served by the charter schools operated or managed by the
applicant.
(2) Either (i) The degree, including the consistency over the past
three years, to which the applicant has demonstrated success in closing
historic achievement gaps for the subgroups of students, described in
section 1111(b)(2)(C)(v)(II) of the ESEA at the charter schools
operated or managed by the applicant, or
(ii) The degree, including the consistency over the past three
years, to which there have not been significant achievement gaps
between any of the subgroups of students described in section
1111(b)(2)(C)(v)(II) of the ESEA at the charter schools operated or
managed by the applicant and significant gains in student academic
achievement have been made with all populations of students served by
the charter schools operated or managed by the applicant.
(3) The degree, including the consistency over the past three
years, to which the applicant has achieved results (including
performance on statewide tests, annual student attendance and retention
rates, high school graduation rates, college
[[Page 16758]]
attendance rates, and college persistence rates (where applicable and
available)) for low-income and other educationally disadvantaged
students served by the charter schools operated or managed by the
applicant that are significantly above the average academic achievement
results for such students in the State.
(b) Contribution in assisting educationally disadvantaged students.
The contribution the proposed project will make in assisting
educationally disadvantaged students served by the applicant to meet or
exceed State academic content standards and State student academic
achievement standards, and to graduate college- and career-ready. When
responding to this selection criterion, applicants must discuss the
proposed locations of schools to be created or substantially expanded
and the student populations to be served.
(c) Quality of the project design.
The Secretary considers the quality of the design of the proposed
project. In determining the quality of the design of the proposed
project, the Secretary considers the extent to which the goals,
objectives, and outcomes to be achieved by the proposed project are
clearly specified, measurable, and attainable. Applicants proposing to
open schools serving substantially different populations than those
currently served by the model for which they have demonstrated evidence
of success must address the attainability of outcomes given this
difference.
(d) Quality of the management plan and personnel.
The Secretary considers the quality of the management plan and
personnel to replicate and substantially expand high-quality charter
schools. In determining the quality of the management plan and
personnel for the proposed project, the Secretary considers:
(1) The adequacy of the management plan to achieve the objectives
of the proposed project on time and within budget, including clearly
defined responsibilities, timelines, and milestones for accomplishing
project tasks.
(2) The business plan for improving, sustaining, and ensuring the
quality and performance of charter schools created or substantially
expanded under these grants beyond the initial period of Federal
funding in areas including, but not limited to, facilities, financial
management, central office, student academic achievement, governance,
oversight, and human resources of the charter schools.
(3) A multi-year financial and operating model for the
organization, a demonstrated commitment of current and future partners,
and evidence of broad support from stakeholders critical to the
project's long-term success.
(4) The plan for closing charter schools supported, overseen, or
managed by the applicant that do not meet high standards of quality.
(5) The qualifications, including relevant training and experience,
of the project director, chief executive officer or organization
leader, and key project personnel, especially in managing projects of
the size and scope of the proposed project.
Final Priorities, Requirements, Definitions, and Selection Criteria
We will announce the final priorities, requirements, definitions,
and selection criteria in a notice in the Federal Register. We will
determine the final priorities, requirements, definitions, and
selection criteria after considering responses to this notice and other
information available to the Department. This notice does not preclude
us from proposing additional priorities, requirements, definitions, or
selection criteria, subject to meeting applicable rulemaking
requirements.
Note: This notice does not solicit applications. In any year in
which we choose to use one or more of these proposed priorities,
requirements, definitions, and selection criteria, we invite
applications through a notice in the Federal Register.
Executive Order 12866: This notice has been reviewed in accordance with
Executive Order 12866. Under the terms of the order, we have assessed
the potential costs and benefits of this proposed regulatory action.
The potential costs associated with this proposed regulatory action
are those resulting from statutory requirements and those we have
determined as necessary for administering this program effectively and
efficiently.
In assessing the potential costs and benefits--both quantitative
and qualitative--of this proposed regulatory action, we have determined
that the benefits of the proposed priorities, requirements,
definitions, and selection criteria justify the costs.
We have determined, also, that this proposed regulatory action does
not unduly interfere with State, local, and Tribal governments in the
exercise of their governmental functions.
Intergovernmental Review: This program is subject to Executive
Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79. One of the
objectives of the Executive order is to foster an intergovernmental
partnership and a strengthened federalism. The Executive order relies
on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination
and review of proposed Federal financial assistance.
This document provides early notification of our specific plans and
actions for this program.
