Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE): Charter Schools Program (CSP): Expanding Opportunities Through Quality Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grants to State Entities; Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023
Additional Information of Eligibility:
1.
Eligible Entities: State entities in States with a specific State statute authorizing the granting of charters to schools.Under section 4303(e)(1) of the ESEA, no State entity may receive a grant under this competition for use in a State in which a State entity is currently using a CSP State Entity grant.
Accordingly, State entities located in States in which a State entity has a current CSP State Entity grant that is not in its final budget period (or is in its final budget period, but the grantee plans to request a one-time no-cost extension in accordance with 34 CFR 75.261 and 2 CFR 200.308(e)(2) ) (i.e., Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington) are ineligible to apply for a CSP State Entity grant under this competition.
State entities located in States in which a State entity has a current CSP State Entity grant that is operating under a no-cost extension (i.e., Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin), or that is not operating under a no-cost extension but is in its final budget period and has notified the Department that it does not intend to request a no-cost extension (i.e., Idaho), however, are eligible to apply for a CSP State Entity grant under this competition.
The Department will accept applications from current State entity grantees located in these States as well as from State entities located in these States that do not have a current CSP State Entity grant.
Consistent with section 4303(e)(1), if a State entity is approved for a new CSP State Entity grant under this competition for use in a State in which a State entity has a current CSP State Entity grant that is operating under a no-cost extension (or that is in its final budget period and does not request a no-cost extension at least 10 calendar days before the end of the performance period specified in the Federal award in accordance with 2 CFR 200.308(e)(2)), the current State entity grantee must either (a) obligate all grant funds prior to the end of the current budget period; or (b) request a waiver under section 4303(d)(5) of the ESEA to enable it to complete grant activities.
In the absence of an approved waiver, the current State entity grantee must complete all grant activities and begin the grant closeout process (i.e., liquidating the grant and not incurring new costs) prior to the expiration date of the no-cost extension (or the end of the performance period for a grantee that is in its final budget period and did not request a no-cost extension).
Likewise, if multiple State entities in a State submit applications that receive high enough scores to be recommended for funding under this competition, only the highest scoring application among such State entities would be funded.State entities in States in which an SEA has a current CSP Grant for SEAs that was awarded under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (i.e., prior to FY 2017) are eligible to apply for a CSP State Entity grant under this competition, as long as no other State entity in the State has a current CSP State Entity grant that is not in its final budget period nor operating under a no-cost extension.
