					 Legislature for the operation of the following program variations:
(1) Programs which provide activities for
					 prekindergarten children, in conjunction with a grant to a Community Schools
					 Program.
(2) A home-based program
					 which serves both children and parents in the home through regular visits by a
					 trained staff member, provided that such program was funded during the 1988-89
					 school year. The requirements set forth in sections
					 151-2.4(b)(7) and
					 (11),
					 151-2.7,
					 151-2.8 and
					 151-2.9  of
					 this Subpart, shall not apply to such programs.
(3) Joint Federal Chapter 1 and State
					 experimental prekindergarten programs in schools districts eligible for a
					 concentration grant in excess of $200,000 in the base year pursuant to section
					 1006 of chapter 1 of title 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as
					 amended,  20 U.S.C. 2712  (title 20, Education, sections 1241 to 3400, West

					 School Improvement Grants Management and Compliance, Education Building Annex,
					 Room 469, State Education Department, Albany, NY 12234). To be approved for
					 funding, such a district shall submit an application which demonstrates that:
(i) the program will serve educationally
					 deprived children, and no other criteria except age and educational need will
					 be used to select children for participation in the joint program;
(ii) all program requirements of this Part,
					 except those relating to the selection of prekindergarten children to
					 participate in the joint program on the basis of economic disadvantage, will be
					 met;
(iii) priority in the
					 selection of the schools within the district for the establishment of new
					 prekindergarten programs or the expansion of prekindergarten programs funded in
					 the base year will be given to schools with the highest concentration of
					 children from low-income families, as determined from their ranking for
					 purposes of chapter 1 pursuant to
					  34 CFR
					 200.30  (Code of Federal Regulations, 1989
					 Edition, Superintendent of Public Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,
					 Washington, DC 20402: 1984; available at Office of School Improvement Grants
					 Management and Compliance, Education Building Annex, Room 469, State Education
					 Department, Albany, NY 12234);
(iv)
					 prekindergarten children in the area served by schools selected as the site of
					 a prekindergarten program approved for funding pursuant to this paragraph shall
					 be selected for participation in order of greatest educational need;
					 and

					 granted for the joint program from the comparability and supplement, not
					 supplant requirements under chapter 1 pursuant to
					  34 CFR
					 200.45  (Code of Federal Regulations, 1989
					 Edition, Superintendent of Public Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,
					 Washington, DC 20402: 1984; available at Office of School Improvement Grants
