Office of Innovation and Improvement; Overview Information; DC School Choice Incentive Program; Notice Reopening Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 Competition for the DC School Choice Incentive Program.
On April 23, 2009, we published in the Federal Register (74 FR 18567) a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2009 for the DC School Choice Incentive Program. The original notice for the FY 2009 DC School Choice Incentive Program competition established a May 26, 2009, deadline date for eligible applicants to apply for funding under this program. The notice in the Federal Register required applicants for this competition to submit their applications in paper format by mail or hand delivery.

Applicants must refer to the notice inviting applications for new awards that was published in the Federal Register on April 23, 2009 (74 FR 18567) for all other requirements concerning this reopened competition.
