				the educational process and the health and safety rights of students and
				staff.

				public health, medical personnel and community leaders in developing the health
				promotion and disease prevention. The school nurse is qualified to lead the
				development and implementation of the county level policy.

				  requests exceed available funds. The same, or substantially the same
				  application may not be submitted in more than one category. The two categories
				  are:

				principal is responsible for submitting a school application. The grant must be
				schoolwide in scope and must be designed to impact the total school faculty,
				student body, or an entire program. A school may submit only one school grant
				application per year and is only eligible for match free grants up to $5,000.

				school with approval of the school principal.
B. District - The superintendent is
				responsible for submitting a district level application. The grant must be
				district wide in scope and must include all school buildings housing similar
				target populations. In districts having many such buildings, at least three
				fourths of the buildings housing similar target populations must be included.
				Examples of buildings housing similar target populations are elementary,
				middle, and secondary schools. A district may submit only one district
				application per year and is eligible for matching grants up to $10,000. A
				district is eligible for a matching grant only.

				  grants:

				improvement activities. They are available to districts for developing
				coordinated efforts to improve school or classroom teaching practices and
				procedures in a specified grade level(s) or in a specific subject area(s).
				Matching fund grants will be available on a competitive basis, if the request
				for funds exceeds the total amount of the appropriation available to the
				matching fund grants program.
2.
				Match Free Grants are designed to promote exemplary and innovative projects to
				improve instruction at the school level. Match free grants are not awarded to
				school districts. Match free grants will be made only to schools on a
				competitive basis.
Matching or match free grants may be used to develop, expand,
				  or adapt/adopt exemplary and innovative projects. They may also be used to
				  continue previously funded CGAP projects for one additional year. The same, or
				  substantially the same application may not be submitted concurrently under the
				  matching and match free categories.
