    SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE PARTNERSHIPS – NEW
    COMPETITIVE GRANT OPPORTUNITY (UPDATED)
     
     
    On December 13, 2005 we sent an announcement regarding a competitive grant opportunity for
    Mathematic and Science Partnerships. It has come to our attention that there has been some
    confusion regarding the methodology for determining high-need local education agency (LEA).
    A high need LEA is defined as a district in which
    no less than 20 percent of the children are
    from families with incomes below poverty using data compiled during the 2000 Census.
      
     
    We apologize for any confusion this may have caused you.
     
    The Request for Proposal (RFP) for these competitive grants is attached and due on or before
    January 30, 2006. The RFP is also available at http://www.firn.edu/doe/curriculum/titleiib.htm.
