SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The No

criteria identified in the NCLB report,
scored each application using objective
criteria, ranked them according to their
numerical score, and identified the 10
highest scoring projects. Those schools
were invited to present at a public
hearing to show the condition of their
school campuses and to answer
questions.

based on criteria, such as the Facility

outlined in the NCLB report. The Office
of the Assistant Secretary—Indian

readiness based on when each school
completes the planning process. Design
and construction for these projects is
contingent on the budget process.
