I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The Migrant
Education Even Start (MEES) Family
Literacy program is intended to help
break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy
of migratory agricultural or fishing
families by improving the educational
opportunities of these families through
the integration of early childhood
education, adult literacy or adult basic
education, and parenting education into
a unified family literacy program. This
program is implemented through
cooperative activities that build on highquality existing community resources to
create a new range of educational
services for the most-in-need migratory
agricultural or fishing families, promote
the academic achievement of migratory
children and adults, assist migratory
children in meeting challenging State
content standards and challenging State
achievement standards, and use
instructional programs based on
scientifically based reading research on
preventing and overcoming reading
difficulties for children and adults. The
application package contains a
description of the 15 program elements
that MEES projects must implement, as
required by Title I, Part B, section 1235
of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, as amended
(ESEA).
Priority: This notice includes one
competitive preference priority. This
priority is from the Education
Department General Administrative
Regulations (EDGAR) that apply to this
program (34 CFR 75.225).
Competitive Preference Priority: For
FY 2010 and any subsequent year in
which we make awards from the list of
unfunded applicants from this
competition, this priority is a
competitive preference priority. Under
34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i), we award an
additional five points to an application
that meets this priority.
This priority is:
Novice Applicant
The applicant must be a ‘‘novice
applicant.’’ Under 34 CFR 75.225 a
novice applicant is an applicant that has
never received a grant or subgrant under
the MEES program; has never been a
participant in a group application,
submitted in accordance with §§ 75.127
through 75.129 of EDGAR, that received
a grant under the MEES program; and
has not had an active discretionary grant
from the Federal Government in the five
years before the deadline date for
applications under the MEES program.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C.
