             Subpart B_How Does the Secretary Award a Grant?

 

Sec.  225.12  What funding priority may the Secretary use in making a 

grant award?



    (a) The Secretary may award up to 15 additional points under a 

competitive priority related to the capacity of charter schools to offer 

public school choice in those communities with the greatest need for 

this choice based on--

    (1) The extent to which the applicant would target services to 

geographic areas in which a large proportion or number of public schools 

have been identified for improvement, corrective action, or 

restructuring under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act of 1965, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001;

    (2) The extent to which the applicant would target services to 

geographic areas in which a large proportion of students perform below 

proficient on State academic assessments; and

    (3) The extent to which the applicant would target services to 

communities with large proportions of students from low-income families.

    (b) The Secretary may elect to--

    (1) Use this competitive priority only in certain years; and

    (2) Consider the points awarded under this priority only for 

proposals that exhibit sufficient quality to warrant funding under the 

selection criteria in Sec.  225.11. (Approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget under control number 1855-0007)
