    SUBJECT
    : 21
    st
    Century Community Learning Centers Program
    The purpose of the 21
    st
    Century Community Learning Centers Program is to provide before school and
    after school or summer programs for school-wide Title I students and their families. This program
    supports the goal of the Department of higher student achievement by providing high quality, extended
    learning opportunities throughout the state.
    The Department will give priority to applications that are submitted jointly between at least one Local
    Education Agency (LEA) (including individual public or private schools, a consortium of schools, or a
    consortium of school districts) receiving funds under Part A of Title I and at least one public or private
    community-based organization. The Department will give the same priority to an application
    submitted by an LEA if the LEA demonstrates that it is unable to partner with a community-based
    organization that is within reasonable geographic proximity and of sufficient quality to meet the
    requirements of this program.
    The request for proposal (RFP) must be completed and returned by the close of business on May 5,
    2005, to the Office of Grants Management, 325 W. Gaines Street, Room 325B, Tallahassee, Florida,
    32399-0400. Should you have any questions, please contact the Office of Family & Community
    Outreach at 850/245-0424 or SunCom 205-0424 or via e-mail at Joe.Davis@fldoe.org.
