SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Which LEAs Are Eligible for an Award Under the SRSA Program? An LEA (including a public charter school that is considered an LEA under State law) is eligible for an award under the SRSA program if— (a) The total number of students in average daily attendance at all of the schools served by the LEA is fewer than 600, or each county in which a school served by the LEA is located has a total population density of fewer than 10 persons per square mile; and (b) All of the schools served by the LEA are designated with a school locale code of 7 or 8 by the Department’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), or the Secretary has determined, based on a demonstration by the LEA and concurrence of the State educational agency, that the LEA is located in an area defined as rural by a governmental agency of the State. The school locale codes are the locale codes determined on the basis of the NCES school code methodology in place on the date of enactment of section 6211(b) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended. Which Eligible LEAs Must Submit an Application To Receive an FY 2010 SRSA Grant Award? An eligible LEA must submit an application to receive an FY 2010 SRSA grant award if it falls under any of the following categories: 1. The LEA never submitted an application for SRSA funds in any prior year; 2. The LEA received an SRSA grant for FY 2007, and, as of December 31, 2009, had not drawn down from the Department’s Grant Administration and Payment System any of its FY 2007 SRSA funds; 3. The LEA was identified in a prior year on the SRSA eligibility spreadsheets as needing to re-apply for SRSA because of the absence of drawdown activity, but did not do so.

Given the limited purpose served by the application under the SRSA program, the Secretary considers the application requirement to be met if an LEA submitted an SRSA application for any prior year and does not fall under any of the categories listed above requiring the submission of a new application. In this circumstance, unless an LEA advises the Secretary by the application deadline that it is withdrawing its application, the Secretary deems the application that an LEA previously submitted to remain in effect for FY 2010 funding, and the LEA does not have to submit an additional application. We intend to provide, by April 15, 2010, a list of LEAs eligible for FY 2010 funds on the Department’s Web site at https://www.ed.gov/programs/reapsrsa/ eligibility.html. Eligible LEAs that must submit a new electronic application to the Department to receive an FY 2010 SRSA grant award will be highlighted on the list in yellow. The list will also include eligible LEAs that are considered already to have met the application requirement. Eligible LEAs needing to submit a new application in order to receive FY 2010 SRSA funds must do so electronically by the deadline established in this notice. 7:00 p.m. Wednesday; and 6:00 a.m. Thursday until 8:00 p.m. Sunday, Washington, DC time.

Electronic Submission of Applications An eligible LEA that is required to submit an application to receive FY 2010 SRSA funds (in other words, an LEA that did not submit an application in a prior year, or was identified in a prior year as needing to re-apply because of the absence of drawdown activity) must submit an electronic application by June 30, 2010, 4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time.

Funds must be used to enhance the capacity of State agencies to support local educational agencies (LEAs) in their efforts to create and sustain a safe and drug-free school environment. Priority: We are establishing this priority for the FY 2010 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). The Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (SDFSCA) State and Local Grants program, which, for many years, provided funding for formula grants to States to support LEAs and community-based organizations in developing and implementing programs to prevent drug use and violence among children and youth, did not receive a fiscal year 2010 appropriation. As we transition from formula to discretionary and competitive funding under the FY 2010 appropriation, this priority is established to help States increase their capacity to provide a State prevention infrastructure and to assist States with strategic planning during this transition process by facilitating partnerships between SEAS and other State agencies to support the prevention efforts of LEAs. 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: Grants to build and sustain SEA capacity to prevent youth substance use and violence and support collaboration between the SEA and other State agencies that are involved in efforts to prevent these problems. To meet this priority, funds must be used to enhance the capacity of State agencies to support LEAs in their efforts to create and sustain a safe and drug-free school environment. Grantees may carry out technical assistance and training, program support services, data analysis, coordination of activities, and information dissemination, as well as other activities that enhance the capacity of State agencies to support local school-based efforts to create safe and drug-free environments for their students.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Which LEAs Are Eligible for an Award Under the SRSA Program?

    An LEA (including a public charter school that is considered an LEA 
under State law) is eligible for an award under the SRSA program if--
    (a) The total number of students in average daily attendance at all 
of the schools served by the LEA is fewer than 600, or each county in 
which a school served by the LEA is located has a total population 
density of fewer than 10 persons per square mile; and
    (b) All of the schools served by the LEA are designated with a 
school locale code of 7 or 8 by the Department's National Center for 
Education Statistics (NCES), or the Secretary has determined, based on 
a demonstration by the LEA and concurrence of the State educational 
agency, that the LEA is located in an area defined as rural by a 
governmental agency of the State.
    The school locale codes are the locale codes determined on the 
basis of the NCES school code methodology in place on the date of 
enactment of section 6211(b) of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
Act of 1965, as amended.

Which Eligible LEAs Must Submit an Application To Receive an FY 2010

    An eligible LEA must submit an application to receive an FY 2010 
SRSA grant award if it falls under any of the following categories:
    1. The LEA never submitted an application for SRSA funds in any 
prior year;
    2. The LEA received an SRSA grant for FY 2007, and, as of December

    3. The LEA was identified in a prior year on the SRSA eligibility

under any of the categories listed above requiring the submission of a 
new application. In this circumstance, unless an LEA advises the 
Secretary by the application deadline that it is withdrawing its 
application, the Secretary deems the application that an LEA previously 
submitted to remain in effect for FY 2010 funding, and the LEA does not 
have to submit an additional application.

for FY 2010 funds on the Department's Web site at https://www.ed.gov/programs/reapsrsa/eligibility.html. Eligible LEAs that must submit a

submit an electronic application by June 30, 2010, 4:30:00 p.m.,
