The program requires a cooperative partnership between a school district and a community-based organization. Projects must build on existing resources to create a new range of services. This is a competitive grant application. Approximately 225 children in New Hampshire receive services every year. Children whose parents earn their living fishing or logging may also be eligible.
Migrant children reside in communities throughout the state.
Our office is responsible for locating these children through active recruiting and through interstate and school referrals. The purpose of this part is to improve educational services to children in local and State institutions for neglected, delinquent youths so that such children have the opportunity to meet the same challenging State standards that all children are expected to meet and to prevent at-risk youth from dropping out of school. Grants are awarded to State Agency Programs and Local Agency Programs. The CSRD program provides financial incentives for schools, particularly Title I schools, to implement comprehensive school reform programs that are based on reliable research and effective practices and that include an emphasis on basic academics and parental involvement.
