Funds will be allocated to school divisions based on the number of eligible children and youth enrolled in public and nonpublic elementary and secondary schools.
Federal regulations require each school division to make a count of immigrant children.
The established date for this count is February 9, 2001. To be eligible to receive funds under this grant, a school division must have at least 500 immigrant children enrolled, or at least 3 percent of the total number of students enrolled in elementary and secondary public and nonpublic schools served by the school division must be immigrant children. All school divisions are requested to return the attached Emergency Immigrant Program Form, even if they do not meet the criteria for the grant funds.
