I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The Grants to
Address Youth Violence and Related
Issues in Persistently Dangerous Schools
Program supports the implementation of
programs, activities, and strategies that
address youth violence and related
issues in local educational agencies
(LEAs) with schools that have been
identified as persistently dangerous for
school year 2006–2007 pursuant to
section 9532 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965
(ESEA), as amended by the No Child
Left Behind Act of 2001.
Priority: We are establishing this
priority for the FY 2007 grant
competition and any subsequent year in
which we make awards from the list of
unfunded applicants from this
competition, in accordance with section
437(d)(1) of the General Education
Provisions Act (GEPA), 20 U.S.C.
1232(d)(1).
Absolute Priority: 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 LEA projects
that are designed to address violence
and related issues, such as gang activity,
in schools operated by the LEA that
have been identified by the State
(consistent with the requirements in
section 9532 of the ESEA) as
persistently dangerous. Eligible LEAs
may also propose activities that address
violence and related issues in schools in
the LEA that are at risk of becoming
persistently dangerous based on
objective criteria under the State’s
definition of persistently dangerous, and
system-wide activities that would
prevent other schools operated by the
LEA from being identified as
persistently dangerous in the future.
Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking:
Under the Administrative Procedure Act
(5 U.S.C. 553) the Department generally
offers interested parties the opportunity
to comment on proposed priorities.
Section 437(d)(1) of GEPA, however,
allows the Secretary to exempt from
rulemaking requirements, regulations
governing the first grant competition
under a new or substantially revised
program authority. This is the first grant
competition for this program authorized
as part of the U.S. Troop Readiness,
Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and
Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act,
2007 (Pub. L. 110–28) and therefore
qualifies for this exemption. In order to
ensure timely grant awards, the
Secretary has decided to forego public
comment on the priority under section
437(d)(1) of GEPA. This priority will
apply to the FY 2007 grant competition
and any subsequent year in which we
make awards from the list of unfunded
applicants from this competition.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 7131;
Section 5502, Title V, Chapter 5, of the
U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care,
Katrina Recovery, and Iraq
Accountability Appropriations Act,
2007 (Pub. L. 110–28).
Applicable Regulations: The
Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in
34 CFR Parts 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84,
85, 97, 98, 99, and 299.
II. Award Information
Type of Award: Discretionary grants.
Estimated Available Funds:
$8,594,000. Contingent upon the
availability of funds and the quality of
applications, we may make additional
awards in FY 2008 from the list of
unfunded applicants from this
competition.
Estimated Range of Awards:
$250,000–$3,000,000.
Estimated Average Size of Awards:
$661,000.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Estimated Number of Awards: 13.
Note: The Department is not bound by any
estimates in this notice.
Project Period: Up to 18 months.
III. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants: LEAs in which
at least one school was identified as
persistently dangerous in the school
year 2006–2007 and certified by the
State, as part of the State educational
agency’s (SEA’s) annual Consolidated
State Performance Report, as a
persistently dangerous school under
section 9532 of the ESEA by March 31,
2007.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching: This
competition does not require cost
sharing or matching.
3. Other: (a) Equitable Participation
by Private School Children and
Teachers: Section 9501 of the ESEA
requires that SEAs, LEAs, or other
entities receiving funds under the Safe
and Drug-Free Schools and
Communities Act 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, LEAs 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, an LEA must consult with
private school officials on youth
violence and related issues for private
schools in the LEA’s service area.
(b) Maintenance of Effort: Section
9521 of the ESEA requires that LEAs
may receive a grant only if the SEA
finds that the combined fiscal effort per
student or the aggregate expenditures of
the LEA and the State 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 effort or aggregate
expenditures for the second preceding
fiscal year.

Grants to Address Youth Violence and Related Issues in Persistently
Dangerous Schools; Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2007
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.184V.
Dates: Applications Available: July 9, 2007.
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: August 8, 2007.
Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: September 7, 2007.
Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The Grants to Address Youth Violence and
Related Issues in Persistently Dangerous Schools Program supports the
implementation of programs, activities, and strategies that address
youth violence and related issues in local educational agencies (LEAs)
with schools that have been identified as persistently dangerous for
school year 2006-2007 pursuant to section 9532 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left
Behind Act of 2001.
Priority: We are establishing this priority for the FY 2007 grant
competition and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the
list of unfunded applicants from this competition, in accordance with
section 437(d)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA), 20
U.S.C. 1232(d)(1).
Absolute Priority: This priority is an absolute priority. Under 34
CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only applications that meet this priority.
[[Page 37206]]
This priority is:
This priority supports LEA projects that are designed to address
violence and related issues, such as gang activity, in schools operated
by the LEA that have been identified by the State (consistent with the
requirements in section 9532 of the ESEA) as persistently dangerous.
Eligible LEAs may also propose activities that address violence and
related issues in schools in the LEA that are at risk of becoming
persistently dangerous based on objective criteria under the State's
definition of persistently dangerous, and system-wide activities that
would prevent other schools operated by the LEA from being identified
as persistently dangerous in the future.
Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking: Under the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. 553) the Department generally offers interested parties
the opportunity to comment on proposed priorities. Section 437(d)(1) of
GEPA, however, allows the Secretary to exempt from rulemaking
requirements, regulations governing the first grant competition under a
new or substantially revised program authority. This is the first grant
competition for this program authorized as part of the U.S. Troop
Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability
Appropriations Act, 2007 (Pub. L. 110-28) and therefore qualifies for
this exemption. In order to ensure timely grant awards, the Secretary
has decided to forego public comment on the priority under section
437(d)(1) of GEPA. This priority will apply to the FY 2007 grant
competition and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the
list of unfunded applicants from this competition.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 7131; Section 5502, Title V, Chapter
5, of the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and
Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (Pub. L. 110-28).
Applicable Regulations: The Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR Parts 75, 77, 79, 80, 81,
82, 84, 85, 97, 98, 99, and 299.
II. Award Information
Type of Award: Discretionary grants.
Estimated Available Funds: $8,594,000. Contingent upon the
availability of funds and the quality of applications, we may make
additional awards in FY 2008 from the list of unfunded applicants from
this competition.
Estimated Range of Awards: $250,000-$3,000,000.
Estimated Average Size of Awards: $661,000.
Estimated Number of Awards: 13.
Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this
notice.
Project Period: Up to 18 months.
III. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants: LEAs in which at least one school was
identified as persistently dangerous in the school year 2006-2007 and
certified by the State, as part of the State educational agency's
(SEA's) annual Consolidated State Performance Report, as a persistently
dangerous school under section 9532 of the ESEA by March 31, 2007.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching: This competition does not require cost
sharing or matching.
3. Other: (a) Equitable Participation by Private School Children
and Teachers: Section 9501 of the ESEA requires that SEAs, LEAs, or
other entities receiving funds under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and
Communities Act 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, LEAs 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, an LEA must
consult with private school officials on youth violence and related
issues for private schools in the LEA's service area.
(b) Maintenance of Effort: Section 9521 of the ESEA requires that
LEAs may receive a grant only if the SEA finds that the combined fiscal
effort per student or the aggregate expenditures of the LEA and the
State 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 effort or aggregate expenditures for the second preceding
fiscal year.

Please note the following:
Your participation in Grants.gov is voluntary.
When you enter the Grants.gov site, you will find
information about submitting an application electronically through the
site, as well as the hours of operation.

otherwise noted in this section, we will not consider your application
if it is date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system later than 4:30
p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. When we
retrieve your application from Grants.gov, we will notify you if we are
rejecting your application because it was date and time stamped by the
Grants.gov system after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the
application deadline date.
The amount of time it can take to upload an application
will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the

Supplemental Information for SF 424--have replaced the ED 424
(Application for Federal Education Assistance).
If you submit your application electronically, you must
attach any narrative sections of your application as files in a .DOC

specified identifying number unique to your application). We may
request that you provide us original signatures on forms at a later
date.

4. Performance Measures: The Department has established the
following Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) performance
measures for the Grants to Address Youth Violence and Related Issues in
Persistently Dangerous Schools program:
(1) The percentage of grantees that experience a decrease in the
number of the types of incidents that are included in the State's
definition of persistently dangerous schools.
(2) The percentage of grantees that experience a decrease in the
number of schools in the LEA identified as persistently dangerous.
(3) The percentage of grantees that experience a decrease in the
number of students eligible to receive a transfer to a safe public
school under section 9532 of the ESEA because they are victims of a
violent criminal offense, as determined by State law, while in or on
the grounds of a public elementary or secondary school that the
students attend.
[[Page 37209]]
These measures constitute the Department's indicator of success for
this program. Consequently, we advise an applicant for a grant under
this program to give careful consideration to these measures in
conceptualizing the approach and evaluation for its proposed project.
Each grantee will be required to provide, in its annual and final
performance reports, data about its progress in meeting these measures.
