             Subpart B_How Does the Secretary Award a Grant?

 

Sec.  226.14  What other funding priorities may the Secretary use in 

making a grant award?



    (a) The Secretary may award points to an application under a 

competitive preference priority regarding 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 ESEA;

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

geographic areas in which a large proportion of students perform poorly 

on State academic assessments; and

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

communities with large proportions of low-income students.

    (b) The Secretary may award points to an application under a 

competitive preference priority for applicants that have not previously 

received a grant under the program.

    (c) The Secretary may elect to consider the points awarded under 

these priorities only for proposals that exhibit sufficient quality to 

warrant funding under the selection criteria in Sec.  226.12 of this 

part.
