SUBJECT:
21st 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.
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 a local education
agency if the local education agency 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 part.
The request for proposal (RFP) must be completed and returned by
October 18, 2002, to the Office of Grants Management, 325 W. Gaines
Street, Room 325, Tallahassee, Florida, 32399-0400. Should you have
any questions, please contact the Curriculum Support Office at 850/488-
1701 or SunCom 278-1701 or via brandy.bartol@FLDOE.ORG.
