I. Funding Opportunity Description

    Purpose of Program: This program provides assistance to promote 
mentoring programs for children with greatest need that: (1) Assist 
these children in receiving support and guidance from a mentor; (2) 
improve the academic performance of the children; (3) improve 
interpersonal relationships between the children and their peers, 
teachers, other adults, and family members; (4) reduce the dropout rate 
of the children; and (5) reduce juvenile delinquency and involvement in 
gangs by the children.
    Priorities: The following absolute and competitive preference 
priorities are from the notice of final priorities, requirements, and 
selection criteria for this program published in the Federal Register 
on May 28, 2004 (69 FR 30794).
    Absolute Priority: For FY 2007 and any subsequent year in which we 
make awards on the basis of the list of unfunded applications from this 
competition, this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 
75.105(c)(3) we consider only applications that meet this priority.
    This priority is:
    This priority supports projects that address the academic and 
social needs of children with the greatest need through school-based 
mentoring programs and activities and provide these students with 
mentors. These programs and activities must serve children with the 
greatest need in one or more grades 4 through 8 living in rural areas, 
high-crime areas, or troubled home environments, or who attend schools 
with violence problems.
    Competitive Preference Priority: Within this absolute priority, we 
give competitive preference to applications that address the following 
priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i) we will award an additional five 
points to an application that meets this priority.
    This priority is:
    We will award five additional points to a consortium of eligible

agency (LEA) and at least one community-based organization (CBO) that 
is not a school and that provides services to youth and families in the 
community; or (b) at least one private school that qualifies as a 
nonprofit CBO and at least one other CBO that is not a school and that 
provides services to youth and families in the community.
    The consortium must designate one member of the group to apply for 
the grant, unless the consortium is itself eligible as a partnership 
between a LEA and a nonprofit CBO.
    To receive this competitive preference, the applicant must clearly 
identify the agencies that comprise the consortium and must include a 
detailed plan of their working relationship and of the activities that 
each member will perform, including a project budget that reflects the 
contractual disbursements to the members of the consortium. For the 
purpose of this priority, a ``consortium'' means a group application in 
accordance with the provisions of 34 CFR 75.127 through 75.129.
    Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 7140.
    Applicable Regulations: (a) The Education Department General

    2. Cost Sharing or Matching: This program does not involve cost 
sharing or matching.
    3. Other:
    (a) To be eligible for funding, an applicant must include in its 
application an assurance that it will: (1) Establish clear, measurable 
performance goals; and (2) collect and report to the Department data

    4. Equitable Participation by Private School Children and Teachers: 
LEAs are required to provide for the equitable participation of private 
school children, their teachers, and other educational personnel in 
private schools located in areas served by the grant recipient.
    In order to ensure that grant program activities address the needs 
of private school children, the LEA must engage in timely and 
meaningful consultation with private school officials during the design 
and development of the program. This consultation must take place 
before any decision is made that affects the opportunities of eligible 
private school children, teachers, and other educational personnel to 
participate.
    In order to ensure equitable participation of private school 
children, teachers, and other educational personnel, the LEA must 
consult with private school officials on issues such as: How children's 
needs will be identified; what services will be offered; how and where 
the services will be provided; who will provide the services; how the 
services will be assessed and how the results of assessment will be 
used to improve those services; the amount of funds available for 
services; the size and scope of the services to be provided; how and 
when decisions about the delivery of services will be made; and the 
provision of contract services through potential third-party providers.
    See Section 9501 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
1965, as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (ESEA).
    5. Maintenance of Effort: Under section 9521 of the ESEA, an LEA 
may receive a grant under the Mentoring Programs grant competition only

with respect to the provision of free public education by the LEA for 
the preceding fiscal year was not less than 90 percent of the combined 
fiscal effort or aggregate expenditures for the second preceding fiscal 
year.

     The amount of time it can take to upload an application 
will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the
