Grants help schools support homeless students
The Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Bureau of Teaching and Learning has announced the release of the Pennsylvania Children Experiencing Homelessness Initiative Request for Application.
The goal of the Pennsylvania Children Experiencing Homelessness Initiative is to ensure that children experiencing homelessness have access to a free and appropriate public education while removing the many barriers they face.
The purpose of the RFA is to provide local educational agencies (including charter schools, school districts and intermediate units) an opportunity to apply for regional grants. The regional grantees will coordinate the enrollment policies and delivery of educational and related services in order to provide for the academic success of children and youth who are experiencing homelessness within the applicable region. These services must focus on identified barriers to enrollment, attendance and success in school.
Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to a single LEA within each of the eight regions in the Commonwealth (a description of the eight regions will be found in the RFA). Grants will be awarded based on the need of grantees for assistance and the quality of the applications submitted.
Due Date: September 9, 2011
The application is available here.
