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.
Regulations require each school division to make a count of immigrant children.
The established date for this count is February 15, 1999. To be eligible to receive funds under this grant, a school division must have at least 500 immigrant children enrolled or 3 percent of the total number of students enrolled in elementary and secondary public and non-public schools served by the school division. 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. A hard copy of this memo and its attach- ment will be sent to the superintendent's office.
