Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of Program: The Fund for the Improvement of Education (FIE), which is authorized by section 5411 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), supports nationally significant programs to improve the quality of elementary and secondary education at the State and local levels and help all children meet challenging academic content and academic achievement standards. The Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) program, which is funded under FIE, encourages coordination of academic, social, and health services through partnerships between (1) Public elementary and secondary schools; (2) the schools’ local educational agencies (LEAs); and (3) community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, and other public or private entities. The purpose of this collaboration is to provide comprehensive academic, social, and health services for students, students’ family members, and community members that will result in improved educational outcomes for children. The Full-Service Community Schools program is a ‘‘place-based’’ program (see https:// www.whitehouse.gov/omb/assets/ memoranda_fy2009/m09-28.pdf) that can leverage investments by focusing resources in targeted places, drawing on the compounding effects of well- PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 coordinated actions. Place-based approaches can also streamline otherwise redundant and disconnected programs. Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 7243– 7243b. Priorities: These priorities are from the notice of final priorities, selection criteria, definitions, and requirements for this program, published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. Absolute Priority: For FY 2010 and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applications, this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only applications that meet this priority. This priority is: Projects That Establish or Expand FullService Community Schools Background: In order for children to be ready and able to learn, they need academic, social, and health supports. The National Research Council has cited the presence of these supports as important predictors of future adult success.1 Students’ needs are better met when academic, social, and health services are delivered to them in a wellcoordinated, results-focused, and integrated manner. A full-service community school, as defined in this notice, is a public elementary or secondary school that works with its local educational agency and community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, and other public or private entities to provide a coordinated and integrated set of comprehensive academic, social, and health services that respond to the needs of its students, students’ family members, and community members, as defined in this notice. These resultsfocused partnerships, as defined in this notice, are based on identified needs and organized around a set of mutually defined results and outcomes. Full-service community schools recognize that schools do not operate in total isolation from the communities in which they are located. Community challenges such as poverty, violence, poor physical health, and family instability can become education issues when left unaddressed. When schools and community partners collaborate to address these issues and align their resources to achieve common results, children are more likely to succeed 1 Committee on Community-Level Programs for Youth (2002).
