Abstract: The Smaller Learning Communities program awards grants to local educational agencies. The grant application package contains information for applicants, including priorities, selection criteria, and requirements, along with standard ED forms. In this revision, the Department of Education is proposing to revise one priority, establish simpler selection criteria, eliminate the collection of one data element, and require each applicant to provide a copy of its indirect cost rate agreement if it seeks reimbursement of its indirect costs.
