Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (the Department)
administers two grant programs under Title V, Part B (Rural Education
Achievement Program (REAP) of the Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965 (ESEA): the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program
(administered by the Department, which makes awards directly to local
educational agencies (LEAs)) and the Rural and Low-Income School (RLIS)
program (awarded by the Department to SEAs, which then make awards to
and administer the program for LEAs, except that the Department may
also make RLIS awards directly to LEAs in States that do not submit an
approvable RLIS application to the Department. The LEAs that apply
directly to the Department under RLIS are known as Specially Qualified
Agencies (SQAs)).
This proposed application package is a revision of current
information collection package (OMB #1810-0646), updated to include
process improvements and enhance consistency across Forms 1,2, and 3.
Updates include clarifications to data collection processes (e.g.,
which year data is requested), improved question structure, and process
improvements related to LEA eligibility (e.g., clarifying virtual and
operational status).
