				that state funds are appropriated for this competitive grant program to be
				awarded by the State Board of Education, and administered by the State
				Department of Education, a notification letter will be sent to each district
				superintendent announcing the availability of application forms.

				grant programs for which applications are being solicited and state the name
				and telephone number of the contact person at the Department who administers
				the program.
(2) The original grant
				application and three (3) copies will be submitted to the grant administrator.
				A specific deadline date will be clearly stated in the application solicitation

				legislative session that grant funds are appropriated.

				Officer of the local educational agency must appear on the
				application.
(4) The Oklahoma
				Advanced Placement Incentives Program grants are site based. A school site may
				apply for a one-time equipment and materials grant of up to $5000 for each
				Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate course. (Two sections of a
				course such as Advanced Placement Calculus are considered to be one
				course.)
(5) Additional grants may
				be awarded to school sites demonstrating successful implementation of the
				Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate course for which the original
				equipment and materials grant was awarded. Successful implementation may be
				demonstrated by, but is not limited to:

				The class having been reported on the Application for Accreditation Coded Class
				Schedule.

				completed the relevant Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate
				examination.

				scored three or better for Advanced Placement or four or better on
				International Baccalaureate on the relevant examination.

				numbers of students for the challenges offered by the Advanced Placement or
				International Baccalaureate classes.
(6) Vertical team grants for the purpose of
				enabling school districts to prepare growing numbers of students for the
				challenges offered by the Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate
				classes. Vertical team grants are content area and team-based. A school
				district may apply for a vertical team grant for a content area team from a
				high school and its feeder middle level school(s). The vertical team shall
				include at least one representative from each grade level in the content area
				for grades seven (7) through twelve (12).

				program that supports training for the development or continuation of Advanced
				Placement (AP) or Pre-AP classes at a public middle or high school.
