Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description

Purpose of Program: The purpose of the CSP is to increase national understanding of the charter school model by expanding the number of high-quality charter schools available to students across the Nation; providing financial assistance for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of charter schools; and evaluating the effects of charter schools, including their effects on students, student academic achievement, staff, and parents.

The purpose of the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools (Replication and Expansion) competition (CFDA 84.282M) is to award grants to eligible applicants toenable them to replicate or expand highquality charter schools with demonstrated records of success, including success in increasing student academic achievement. Eligible applicants may use their grant funds to expand the enrollment of one or more existing charter schools by substantially increasing the number of available seats per school or to open one or more new charter schools that are based on the charter school model for which the eligible applicant has presented evidence of success.

New Additions to the Replication and Expansion Grant competition for FY

2014: The Department has added a new competitive preference priority and selection criterion to this competition. We also address recent updates to the CSP Nonregulatory Guidance on weighted lotteries and language in the FY 2014 appropriations bill that authorizes the use of CSP funds to support preschool education.

For the FY 2014 competition, we are using the Promise Zones priority, published in the Federal Register on March 27, 2014 (79 FR 17035), as a competitive preference priority to support projects that are designed to serve and coordinate with one or more of the newly-created, federally designated Promise Zones. ‘‘Promise Zones’’ are part of an initiative by President Barack Obama to designate 20 high-poverty communities for the Federal government to partner with, and invest in, to create jobs, increase economic activity, improve educational opportunities, reduce violent crime, and leverage private investment. 1 By partnering with Promise Zone designees, the Federal Government will help communities access the resources and expertise they need—including resources from various neighborhood revitalization initiatives—to ensure that Federal programs and resources support efforts to transform these communities. The first five Promise Zones, located in San Antonio, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Southeastern Kentucky, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, have each put forward a plan on how they will partner with local business and community leaders to make investments that reward hard work and expand opportunity. Under this priority, the Department asks applicants to submit a letter from the lead entity of a designated Promise Zone attesting to its support of the application and the expected contribution of the proposed activities in the Promise Zone. Applicants are also encouraged to describe the quality of engagement and coordination with the federally designated Promise Zone and the resources the applicant expects to allocate towards supporting activities within the Promise Zone.
