  5. Requirements [1] The number of Tier I schools an LEA has capacity to serve may be zero if, and only if, the LEA is using all of the capacity it would otherwise use to serve its Tier I schools in order to serve Tier II schools.

  6. Capacity • If the District decides not to fund a Tier I school under this guidance, it must explain lack of capacity to ODE in the Letter of Acknowledgement and Intent for not serving an identified Tier I school

  7. Application process • Final LEA grant applications will be available as soon as we receive approval from the USED • We will send our current draft application to districts upon request, however, it is in draft form and subject to revisions per USED • Applications will be due to ODE May 7, 2010 • Reviews will be completed by May 28, 2010 • Funding for 2010-2011 school year will be released upon approval of the grant application
