DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Application for New Awards; Charter 

Schools Program (CSP) Grants for 

Replication and Expansion of HighQuality Charter Schools 

AGENCY: Office of Innovation and 

Improvement, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Overview Information: 

Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grants 

for Replication and Expansion of 

High-Quality Charter Schools. 

Notice inviting applications for new 

awards for fiscal year (FY) 2014. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

(CFDA) Number: 84.282M. 

Dates: 

Applications Available: June 20, 2014. 

Date of Pre-Application Meeting: June 

26, 2014, 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., 

Washington, DC, time. 

Deadline for Transmittal of 

Applications: July 21, 2014. 

Deadline for Intergovernmental 

Review: October 3, 2014. 

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 to 

enable 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.
