				  of section. The purpose of this section is to establish standards for the best
				  possible use of funds made available by the Legislature to provide financial

				  for a grant under this Part shall submit a formal request on forms provided by
				  the department. Such requests shall be submitted not later than June 1st of
				  each year for programs to be conducted during the following school year, except
				  that for programs to be conducted during the 1988-89 school year only, school
				  districts and BOCES shall submit such requests by a date to be prescribed by
				  the commissioner. The commissioner may grant a variance from this time limit
				  upon a finding that there are extraordinary circumstances which justify the
