Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) It is
				expected that 20 percent of the funds available for this program will be
				allocated to the Chicago Public Schools and that approximately 25 percent of
				grant recipients will be districts that either operate only one school or
				enroll no more than 1,000 students. The State Superintendent of Education shall
				approve initial applications and make final determinations regarding the
				amounts to be provided based upon the total funds appropriated for this
				initiative, the allocation approach as provided in this subsection (a), the
				amounts necessary to fund the top-ranked proposals, and the need to distribute
				the benefits of support for students' mental health on a statewide basis and
				among districts of various types.
b) It is the intention of the State Board of
				Education to approve funding for projects under this Subpart A for a three-year
				period. Funding for the second and third years shall be contingent upon the
				availability of funds for the program and evidence presented in renewal
				proposals that the projects have been implemented in accordance with the
				approved grant agreements and that the recipients continue to need additional
				State resources in order to meet their students' mental health needs
				effectively.
c) A district that has
				received three years' funding under this Subpart A may subsequently apply as a
				new applicant.
