Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the CSP is to increase national
understanding of the charter school
model and to expand the number of
high-quality charter schools available to
students across the Nation by providing
financial assistance for the planning,
program design, and initial
implementation of charter schools, and
to evaluate the effects of charter schools,
including their effects on students,
student academic achievement, staff,
and parents. The Secretary awards
grants to State educational agencies
(SEAs) to enable them to conduct
charter school programs in their States.
SEAs use their CSP funds to award
subgrants to non-SEA eligible applicants
for planning, program design, and initial
implementation of a charter school, and

to support the dissemination of
information about charter schools,
including successful practices in charter
schools.
Priorities: This competition includes
four competitive preference priorities
and one invitational priority. In
accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(1)
and 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(iv), competitive
preference priorities 1 through 4 are
from section 5202(e) of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965,
as amended (ESEA), 20 U.S.C. 7221a(e).
Competitive Preference Priorities: For
FY 2010 and any subsequent year in
which we make awards from the list of
unfunded applicants from this
competition, these priorities are
competitive preference priorities. Under
34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i) we award up to
an additional forty (40) points to an
application, depending on how well the
application meets one or more of these
priorities.
Note: In order to receive preference under
these priorities, an applicant must identify
the priority or priorities that it believes it
meets and provide documentation, including
citations and examples from their State’s
charter school law, supporting its claims. In
order to receive points for priority 1 or to
receive points for priorities 2 through 4, an
application must meet priority 1 and must
meet one or more of priorities 2 through 4.
An SEA that meets priority 1 but does
not meet one or more of priorities 2
through 4 will not receive any points for
priorities 1 through 4.
An SEA that does not meet priority 1
but meets one or more of priorities 2
through 4 will not receive any points for
priorities 2 through 4.
These priorities are:
Priority 1—Periodic Review and
Evaluation (10 points). The State
provides for periodic review and
evaluation by the authorized public
chartering agency of each charter school
at least once every five years, unless
required more frequently by State law,
to determine whether the charter school
is meeting the terms of the school’s
charter, and is meeting or exceeding the
student academic achievement
requirements and goals for charter
schools as set forth under State law or
the school’s charter.
Priority 2—Number of High-Quality
Charter Schools (10 points). The State
has demonstrated progress in increasing
the number of high-quality charter
schools that are held accountable in the
terms of the schools’ charters for
meeting clear and measurable objectives
for the educational progress of the
students attending the schools, in the
period prior to the period for which an
SEA applies for a grant under this
competition.
