Grants
Iowa 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program
|
With the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act, 2001
(NCLB1, administration of the distribution of funding for
the 21st Century Learning Communities (21st CCLC) program
has been devolved to the states. The overarching goal of
this new state administered program is to establish or
expand community learning centers during non-school hours
to provide students who attend schools eligible for
Title I schoolwide programs (i.e., 40% of students are
eligible to receive free and reduced lunch) with academic
enrichment opportunities and supportive services necessary
to help them achieve academically and develop socially,
emotionally, physically, and behaviorally. Entities now
eligible to receive Iowa’s grant funds for a period of
five (5) years has been expanded to include local educational
agencies (LEAs), cities, counties, community-based
organizations (CBOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs),
non-profit organizations (NPOs), or a consortium of two
or more such agencies, organizations or entities. Applicants
are required to plan their programs through a collaborative
process that includes parents, youth, and representatives
of participating schools or local educational agencies,
governmental agencies (e.g, cities, counties, parks and
recreation departments), community organizations, and
the private sector. Sites currently receiving federal
21st CCLC funds may also apply for these funds.

the formats below and download it. A list of schools with
Title I schoolwide programs may be found below. Prospective
applicants should notify the Iowa Department of Education
of the intent to apply no later than 4:30 p.m. (CST) on
April 20, 2004 to allow time for the Department to make
arrangements for the review process. A signed original and
four (4) copies of the application must be received at the
Department no later than 4:30 p.m. (CDT) on May 20, 2004.
