The Acting Assistant Deputy Secretary for Safe and Drug-Free Schools announces priorities and requirements under the Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) grant program. The Acting Assistant Deputy Secretary may use these priorities and requirements for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2009 and later years. We take this action to focus Federal financial assistance on an identified national need. We intend these priorities and requirements to support grants that will increase the capacity of local educational agencies (LEAs) to prevent and mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. This action is also taken to focus funding on LEAs that have not previously received funding under this program and to establish other core requirements. Effective Date: These priorities and requirements are effective April 10, 2009.
