List of Eligible Schools: If a school does not appear on the list of schools eligible for 21st Century fund, how can we request a "Review of Documentation" by the State Education Department to determine eligibility?

You can email the information to this same email address; or mail it to:

NYS Education Department, Student Support Services, Education Building Room 318-M, Albany, NY听 12234 or FAX it to 518-474-8299 to the attention of 21st CCLC.

SINI Priority: If an applicant applies to serve students from 3 schools, how many of the schools need to be SINI (School In Need of Improvement) to receive priority?

All three schools would have to have SINI status to receive SINI priority. The rule is that 75 percent of school buildings must have SINI status to receive SINI priority.

SINI Priority: If an applicant applies to serve students from 3 schools - 1 elementary SINI and 2 middle school SINIs, how many priority points would the application receive? If the majority of students to be served are from middle or high school SINI(s), the application would receive 6 priority points.

If the majority of students to be served are from elementary SINI(s), the application would receive 4 priority points.

SINI Priority:听 Does an applicant that is NOT serving students from a SINI school but IS serving middle level students and/or high school non-completers receive any priority?

No.听 There is no middle level or high school priority for non-SINI schools.

Eligibility:听 If a school falls below the 40% free and reduced price lunch rate, but they meet all other requirements, are they eligible to apply for 21st Century Learning Center funding?

No. 听21st Century programs are to serve primarily students who live in poverty.

Eligibility:听 Some of the schools on the eligible list for this 21CCLC round have programs that won't expire until 2013. I understand that we can apply for enhancements/expansion in this round.

1. Should an expansion/enhancement application be to serve additional students at these schools?

   An applicant can either expand services to existing students and/or serve additional students.

2. Can it include enhanced services to the current students as well? For example, could it offer a summer program serving both new students and students in the current program? If it offers an activity not currently offered, can current students register for the activity?

   Yes.

3. If a CBO not currently in the school applies in this round, while the current CBO applies for an expansion to serve more students, will they be competing with each other? Could the result be two 21st CCLC programs in the school?

   No, there can not be two 21st Century programs in one school.听 Perhaps the new CBO could be a partner in the expanded program (be included in the application submitted by the current CBO).

Eligibility:听 In order for my nonprofit to apply for 21st Century funding do we need to provide all three services stated- academic enrichment, youth development and family literacy?

Yes, each program must provide all three services.

Eligibility:听 Can one school be served by two different CBOs (with two different 21st Century grants), if those CBOs are managing two different and non-overlapping after school programs?

No, there can be only one 21st CCLC program per school building.

Eligibility: If my non-profit community based organization is the main partner with a school district who is applying for a 21st Century Grant, can we still be part of another school district's application as a vendor?

Yes.

Eligibility:听 Has SED defined a radius for applicants to use when looking to private, charter and other schools and asking them if they want to feed a 21st CCLC program?

We recommend looking at the neighborhood catchment area, no defined radius.听 Also, charter schools and private schools that may be applying as the LEA do not need to consult the private schools.

Eligibility:听 Is a BOCES alternative education program eligible to apply for its own program if not all of the component districts (or schools) are listed as eligible?

At least 50% of the schools with students to be served must be eligible (Title I school wide program or 40% free and reduced priced lunch rate).听 For SINI priority, at least 75% of the schools with students to be served must be in school improvement status.

Eligibility:听 We are a not-for-profit youth and family organization that operates a private, on-campus 853 school. Youth who attend our residential programs also attend this campus school. We would like to apply for funds to provide programming for this very specific population. Must we contact other private school districts in nearby areas?

You do not have to consult with private schools in the area.听 Given that you are an 853 school, your catchment area is not limited to the immediate geographic area. However, at least 40 percent of the students in the 853 school must be eligible for free or reduced price lunch.

Grade Levels:听 What grades are considered "Middle level", or does this depend on how a district has structured its schools by grade levels?

Grades 5, 6, 7 and 8 are considered middle level.

HS Non-Completers:听 Who is included in the "non-completers" designation?

High school non-completers are those who are at great risk of dropping out (few credits earned, poor attendance, etc.) or those who have dropped out and would use the 21st CCLC as a segue for re-enrolling in school.

HS Non-Completers:听 The RFP states that the services should be provided during out of school time; would it be allowed for a provider to service non-completers (those out of school) during school hours at a community center, for example?

Yes, if they are attending with the intention of eventually re-enrolling in school.

Programming:听 What level of family literacy services are expected? Literacy-focused Family Fun Nights or individualized instruction for family members?

An occasional family fun night is not sufficient.听 Examples of appropriate services are computer, resume preparation, basic literacy, English as a second language and parenting classes.听 Services for families should be based on a needs assessment to learn what your families need and want for literacy and related educational development.

Programming:听 Can the 21st CCLC be used as a mechanism to provide AIS after school?

No, AIS is to be provided during the regular school day by certified teach
