Universal Citation: 23 IL Admin Code ยง 245.40
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Proposals submitted for funding to establish a State-funded homeless education program shall be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria.
1)
There is sufficient need for the program, as evidenced by the number or
proportion of students identified as eligible for program services. Convincing
evidence is presented of the applicant's inability to adequately meet the needs
of its homeless children and youth without the additional assistance provided
pursuant to this Part. (25 points)
2) The proposed activities and other services
to be provided have a strong potential for helping the applicant design and
continue programs that enable homeless children and youth to achieve stability
and integration within the regular education programs in order to reach the
same challenging State content and student performance standards to which all
children and youth are held, including preparation for self-sufficiency. The
proposed activities and services address effective mechanisms for involving
parents or guardians of homeless children and youth in the education of their
children. (35 points)
3) The
proposal demonstrates that effective coordination with private, non-profit
entities, social services agencies and others serving homeless children and
youth and their families will occur, as necessary, so that the applicant is
able to provide services that are appropriate and comprehensive. (15
points)
4) The proposed evaluation
process is designed to assess the effectiveness of the program's activities and
services in relation to the program's goals and objectives and likely to
produce data that can be used to improve the program. (15 points)
5) The proposed budget is consistent with the
proposal's activities and appears to be cost-effective. (10 points)
b) Priority consideration may be given to proposals with specific areas of emphasis, as identified by the State Superintendent of Education in a particular RFP.
c) The State Superintendent of Education shall determine the amount of individual grant awards. The final award amounts shall be based upon:
1) the total amount of
funds available for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth State Grant
Program; and
2) the resources
requested in the top-ranked proposals, as identified pursuant to subsections
(a) and (b) of this Section.
