ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) seeks requests for consideration (RFC) from eligible local educational agencies (LEA). SUMMARY: DATES: 1. Deadline for Transmittal of RFCs: 21 Feb 11. 2. Full Applications Available (invitation only): On or about 18 Mar 11. 3. Deadline for Transmittal of Full Applications: 29 Apr 11. 4.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Funding Opportunity Description: DoDEA announces the FY 2011 grant program and seeks requests for consideration (RFC) from eligible local educational agencies (LEAs). Approximately $30 million is expected to be awarded, depending on the availability of funding. Projected period of performance is 01 Jun 11 to 31 Aug 14. Awards will be based on military dependent student enrollment and will range in size from $100,000 to $2,500,000. DoDEA estimates that 25–35 grants will be awarded. The Department’s aim is to improve student achievement, increase educational opportunities, ensure student preparation for success in PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1405 college and careers, and ease the challenges that transitions and deployments have on military dependent students. To be eligible to apply an LEA must have a military dependent student population of at least five percent AND have one or more schools that have a military dependent student population of at least 15 percent. LEAs will certify the numbers and percentages of students, using their Federal Impact Aid data. The RFC may be found at https://www. militaryk12partners.dodea.edu. The RFC is due on February 21, 2011. After being reviewed, the highest scoring LEAs will be invited to submit full proposals. Awards are expected to be made June 1–30, 2011. Authorization: Section 574(d) of Public Law 109–364, as amended; Title 10 U.S.C. 2192(b) and Title 10 U.S.C. 2193a CFDA Number • CFDA 12.556: Competitive Grants: Promoting K–12 Student Achievement at Military-Connected Schools, or • CFDA 12.557: Invitational Grants for Military-Connected Schools. PK–12 Education: The Department of Defense considers the education of the dependents of members of the Armed Forces to be a critical quality of life and readiness concern. The quality of K–12 education is an important criterion for military families as they make career decisions on assignments and is linked to retention in the Military Services. A significant element of family readiness is an educational system that recognizes and responds to the unique needs of the children of military families by not only providing a quality education but also easing the challenges military dependent students face due to transitions and deployments. Eligibility: Eligibility is determined through a two-step process. The first step is that the LEA must have a military dependent student population of at least five percent. The second step is based on the size and percentage of the military dependent student population measured at the school, not district level, and on whether or not the school has previously received DoDEA grant funds. • School Level: LEAs may only apply to receive funds for school(s) with a military dependent student population of at least 15 percent. Each LEA will certify the numbers and percentages it reports, using Federal Impact Aid data. • Definition: The term, military dependent student, is defined as an elementary or secondary school student who is a dependent of a member of the E:\FR\FM\10JAN1.SGM 10JAN1
