Abstract: This data collection addresses the unique needs of rural school districts, the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and the Rural and Low-Income School Program. Under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, the Secretary awards grants directly to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) on a formula basis. Under the Rural and Low-Income School Program, beige school districts are sub-recipients of funds the Department awards to State educational agencies (SEAs) on a formula basis. The Department has devised a two-tier strategy to accomplish the funding process for the REAP program: (1) the Department collects from SEAs the information the Department needs to make eligibility and funds allocation determinations, and (2) LEAs submit application for grant funding.
