2016 OVERVIEW

West Virginia Department of Education’s

21 st Century Community Learning Center Grant Program

WHAT IS IT?

The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is pleased to announce the thirteenth state

21 st Century Community Learning Center (21 st CCLC) competition for grants. The intent of this federal grant program is to provide opportunities for communities to establish activities in community learning centers that:

(1) provide opportunities for academic enrichment, including providing tutorial services to help students, particularly students who attend low-performing schools, to meet State and local student academic achievement standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and mathematics;

(2) offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities, such as youth development activities, drug and violence prevention programs, counseling programs, art, music, and recreation programs, technology education programs, and character education programs, that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students; and

(3) offer families of students served by community learning centers opportunities for literacy and related educational development .

This program is authorized under Title IV, Part B of the federal Elementary and Secondary

Education Act, H.R.-1. Allocations for each state are based upon a portion of a state’s Title I population ages 5-17, as well as census information. West Virginia expects to award approximately 1 million dollars in new 21 st

CCLC grants. By federal statute, a 21 st

CCLC grant may not be less than $50,000 per year. This year each eligible program may receive up to

$220,000. If you are applying for only one site, the maximum grant award is $120,000. Awarded grants cannot exceed five years with descending funds in years four and five for successful programs.

If the WVDE does not rescind its ruling, the applicant may apply to the Secretary of the U.S.

Department of Education within 20 days of the applicant receiving a written notification of the results of the appeal.

Upon request, the WVDE will make available records, pertaining to the review or appeal, including the records of other applicants.

FOR WHAT ACTIVITIES MAY A GRANTEE USE 21 ST CCLC FUNDS?

Each eligible organization that receives an award may use the funds to carry out a broad array of before- and after-school activities (including weekends and summer recess periods) that advance student achievement. In the view of the U.S. Department of Education and WVDE, local grantees are limited to providing activities within the following list:

 remedial education activities, including tutoring

 homework help

 academic enrichment learning programs, including providing additional assistance to students to allow the students to improve their academic achievement

 mathematics and science education activities

 arts and music education activities

Request for Proposal Document 6

 entrepreneurial education programs

 mentoring programs

 programs that provide after-school activities for limited English proficient students that emphasize language skills and academic achievement

 recreational activities

 telecommunications and technology education programs

 expanded library service hours

 programs that promote parental engagement, family literacy, and adult skill development

 programs that provide assistance to students who have been truant, suspended, or expelled to allow the students to improve their academic achievement

 health and nutrition

Applicants are reminded of their obligation under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act to ensure that their proposed community learning centers program activities are accessible to persons with disabilities.

WHAT ARE THE COMPETITIVE PRIORITIES?

Priority will be given to the following:

Schools identified as a Priority or Focus School

A Priority school is one that has been identified as among the persistently lowestperforming schools in the State, irrespective of Title I eligibility, based on the most recent assessment data available. A Focus School is one that has a large gap between a particular subgroup and the non-subgroup. For high schools, the gap targeted is graduation rate. At the elementary and middle school levels the gap targeted is achievement.

Two priority points will be added to the base score for service to one listed school, 4 points for more than one listed school.

Programs that provide opportunities for participants in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) will be awarded two priority points.

Programs that provide services limited to middle school and/or high school students only will be awarded two priority points.

Services to students attending schools designated as in need of improvement under section

1116 of ESEA and that are submitted jointly by school districts receiving Title I funds and community-based organizations or other public or private organizations will be awarded four priority points. If you have received priority points under the first bullet in this section, you will only receive two additional points for the partnership.

The following clarification comes from the USDOE Nonregulatory Guidance for 21 st

CCLC programs.

Request for Proposal Document 7

In determining whether an application has been “submitted jointly,” States should look for evidence in the application that the LEA and at least one other organization collaborated in the planning and design of the program, each have substantial roles to play in the delivery of services, share grant resources to carry out those roles, and have significant ongoing involvement in the management and oversight of the program. States may want to consider what organization(s) wrote the application, what organization will be the fiscal agent, whether there is a history of these organizations working together, and whether there is evidence in the application of integration of the after-school program activities with the regular school day program. Letters of endorsement are not by themselves sufficient evidence that organizations or school districts have substantially been involved in the design of a program.

HOW IS THE APPLICATION FOR A 21 ST CCLC GRANT PREPARED?

The following information describes eligibility, required activities, application contents and application review criteria.

Applications must comply with the following format:

 the application narrative section must not exceed 25 typed and numbered pages, (not including appendices) using a 12-point,Times New Roman font; double line spacing and one-inch margins;

 chart format may be used in appropriate sections;

 the application must be on plain white paper (one side only) held together with a binder clip or stapled (no notebooks or coverings) and must not include unsolicited designs, headings, appendices, news clippings or other materials; and

 the application should respond to the exact sequence, outline form, headings and information requested herein.

 citations must be in correct American Psychological Association (APA) format.

According to the non-regulatory guidance for 21 st

CCLC, a public school or other public or private organization that is awarded a grant must provide equitable services to private school students and their families. In designing a program that meets this requirement, grantees must provide comparable opportunities for the participation of both public- and private-school students in the area served by the grant. Grantees must consult with private school officials during the design and development of the 21st CCLC program on issues such as how the children's needs will be identified and what services will be offered. Services and benefits provided to private school students must be secular, neutral, and non-ideological. This communication must be verified by completing the form that comprises Appendix D.

This form MUST be completed and signed, even if there are no private schools in your service area.

If plagiarism is found, or brought to the attention of officials at the West Virginia Department of

Education during a grant competition, then at the discretion of the Department, the WVDE has the right to remove the grant application for funding consideration.

Describe a program Advisory Council that will meet at least quarterly and consist of program staff, co-applicant partner and school/district administrative staff, parents, students and community members.

G. Sustainability (15 points)

Since grant funding is intended as an incentive to promote the long-range establishment of out-of-school-time community programs, the application must include the following:

Describe how the budget is reasonable in relation to the number of average daily attendees to be served, services to be provided and anticipated results and benefits. The budget and budget narrative will be judged against the scope of the program and its anticipated benefits.

Describe how other sources of funding will be leveraged to supplement the grant award and to support services, including coordination with other federal, state and local programs with compatible/complementary services (i.e. Title I, Adult Basic Education etc.)

Explain how the program will ensure that funds will not be used to supplant federal, state, local or non-federal funds.

Applicants who choose to establish a fee structure must provide a narrative that explains the fee structure and how they will assure that income and or ability to pay will not deter families from enrolling their children in the program. Additionally, they must describe how the funds will be administered and managed. Anticipated income from collection of fees must be reported in the budget as an additional source of revenue.

Request for Proposal Document 14

Provide a reasonable plan for sustaining the community learning center(s) after grant funding ends.

Beginning with the 2012 subgrantee cohort, if reapplication is made for the same sites included in this grant in five years (or if 50% or more of the sites remain the same), the maximum funding would be figured at 70% of the year one of the previous grant award.

However, at no time may a grant be awarded for less than $50,000.

H. Parent, Family and Community Involvement (15 points)

Describe the components and related activities that your program will offer to parents, families and community members to meet the needs previously identified in section A.

These activities MUST be aimed at improving the education or skill level of adults or at involving parents in their children’s learning, either at home, at programs sponsored by the center, or elsewhere.

Include the steps you propose to ensure equitable access to, and participation by family members and other program beneficiaries with special needs.

Describe how students, parents and community members will be involved in planning, implementation of services, program evaluation and decision-making in the program.

Explain how your program will disseminate information about the center(s) to the community in a manner that is understandable and accessible.

6. Program Monitoring and Evaluation (20 points)

It is important that each applicant engage in internal monitoring that will help track continuous progress toward meeting grant goals and objectives. This shall be accomplished via a two-step process. First, grantees will develop a Program Logic Model that provides a roadmap for the proposed program. This model must include measureable objectives that align to CCLC program goals, activities, inputs, outputs, outcomes and data-based indicators. Good logic models will include both process and outcome measures. Process measures should include the documentation of significant project milestones/completion of key tasks (e.g., number of participants, number of events sponsored, etc.). Outcome measures should reflect the intended results of your project (e.g., indicators of progress in impacting student learning).

Second, all applicants must provide a narrative that indicates how continuous self-monitoring will be employed to improve and strengthen their program. This narrative should describe the steps that grantees will take to collect evidence of completing program activities, objectives, and outcomes, the process for reviewing this information, and how such information will drive changes in program decision-making. The internal monitoring plan should also include a time line of monitoring activities that clearly aligns to the information provided in the Program Logic Model.

Detailed requirements for the Program Logic Model and Internal Monitoring Plan are described below. These need to be put into the application at the end of the narrative section. They will not be counted in the 25 page maximum.

Program Logic Model and Internal Monitoring Plan

The purpose of the project logic model and internal monitoring plan component of the 21 st

Century

Community Learning Centers program is to help guide applicants’ in the planning of their projects and to ensure grantees are continuously using data to assess progress toward meeting project goals and to engage in continuous improvement. All applications must include the following components:

Request for Proposal Document 15

1.

Program Logic Model:

A logic model is a tool used to depict the logical relationships that exist among program goals, objectives, activities, inputs, and outputs/outcomes. It also describes the data-based indicators that will be used to provide evidence of the program’s effectiveness. All applicants must submit a completed program logic model using the template provided on p. 45 (use the template for each program goal; make additional copies as needed).

It is strongly recommended that grantees complete the logic model prior to writing the application narrative as it can greatly assist with preparing a quality application. Please note, applicants must use the definitions below when completing the program logic model.

Goal - a broad statement of intended outcomes for the program

Objective – a detailed statement of intended outcomes that includes the population, outcome, target, measure, and time frame (all Objectives must be Specific, Measurable,

Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound. See SMART objective guiding questions on the application resource page of the WV 21 st

CCLC website, http://wvde.state.wv.us/21stcclc/resources.html

).

Activities – actions needed to meet objectives

Inputs - resources needed to design and implement activities

Outputs - tangible services and products that are direct results of activities

Outcomes – specific, attainable, measurable changes that are likely to occur as a result of the activities

Indicators – data to monitor implementation and measure progress, as well as success of the initiative

An example of a high quality logic model submitted by a previous CCLC grantee is provided on p. 47.

2.

Internal Monitoring Plan:

Budget and Budget Narrative (10 points)

Complete a WVDE Budget Form (see pp. 25-26) for each of the first three years of the project.

Provide a detailed budget narrative for the first year only using the form provided on page

27 that clearly explains:

the mathematical basis for estimating the costs of professional personnel salaries, fringe benefits, project staff travel, student transportation, materials and supplies, consultant and subcontract fees, indirect costs and other program expenditures; ( Be sure to name each staff position and provide the formula for rate of pay and the duration of services.)

detailed description explaining in-kind support and/or funding/resources provided by co-applicant partners (if applicable) and other collaborating partners in the program.

(Funded programs reporting successful implementation will be asked to provide continuation applications and budgets for each of the five years of the program if federal funding continues. Year four funding will be, at maximum, 80% of the year one amount.

Year five will be, at maximum, 70% of the year one amount.)

 indirect costs must align with the applying organization’s approved restricted indirect cost rate.

Please keep in mind that there is a policy relating to average daily attendance and funding. In grant years three through five, if the program average daily attendance is less than 80% of the average daily attendance number set forth in the original budget, the grantee's budget will be proportionately reduced by the amount of the percentage deficiency from the original budget.

Examples: Based on a total program average daily attendance of 50, 80% would be 40 students. If a program said it would serve an Average Daily Attendance of 50, but only had an ADA of 35 students, based on a single-site grant of $120,000, that would be a cut of $12,000. If a program said it would have an ADA of 90, 80% would be 72 students. If they only had 60 students, based on a grant of $220,000, it would be cut $28,600.

Note: grant funds cannot be used to purchase food, facilities or vehicles, or to support construction.

Federal regulations that apply to the 21 st CCLC program are: the U.S Education Department

General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR Parts 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 85, and 86, and (b) 34 CFR Part 299. The EDGAR regulations can be found on the Department’s website: http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/index.html?src+mr . Office of Management and Budget

Circulars A-21 for educational institutions and A-122 for non-profit programs also provide guidance on cost principles.

GEPA Equitable Access form 1890-0007

OMB Control No. 1890-0007 (Exp. 09/30/2004)

NOTICE TO ALL APPLICANTS

The purpose of this enclosure is to inform you about a new provision in the Department of

Education's General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) that applies to applicants for new grant awards under Department programs. This provision is Section 427 of GEPA, enacted as part of the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 (Public Law (P.L.) 103-382).

To Whom Does This Provision Apply?

Section 427 of GEPA affects applicants for new grant awards under this program. ALL

APPLICANTS FOR NEW AWARDS MUST INCLUDE INFORMATION IN THEIR

APPLICATIONS TO ADDRESS THIS NEW PROVISION IN ORDER TO RECEIVE

FUNDING UNDER THIS PROGRAM.

(If this program is a state-formula grant program, a state needs to provide this description only for projects or activities that it carries out with funds reserved for state-level uses. In addition, local school districts or other eligible applicants that apply to the state for funding need to provide this description in their applications to the state for funding. The state would be responsible for ensuring that the school district or other local entity has submitted a sufficient section 427 statement as described below.)

What Does This Provision Require?

Section 427 requires each applicant for funds (other than an individual person) to include in its application a description of the steps the applicant proposes to take to ensure equitable access to, and participation in, its federally-assisted program for students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries with special needs.

This provision allows applicants discretion in developing the required description. The statute highlights six types of barriers that can impede equitable access or participation: gender, race, national origin, color, disability, or age. Based on local circumstances, you should determine whether these or other barriers may prevent your students, teachers, etc. from such access or participation in, the federally-funded project or activity. The description in your application of steps to be taken to overcome these barriers need not be lengthy; you may provide a clear and succinct description of how you plan to address those barriers that are applicable to your circumstances. In addition, the information may be provided in a single narrative, or, if appropriate, may be discussed in connection with related topics in the application.

Section 427 is not intended to duplicate the requirements of civil rights statutes, but rather to ensure that, in designing their projects, applicants for federal funds address equity concerns that may affect the ability of certain potential beneficiaries to fully participate in the project and to achieve to high standards. Consistent with program requirements and its approved application, an applicant may use the federal funds awarded to it to eliminate barriers it identifies.

What are Examples of How an Applicant Might Satisfy the Requirement of This

Provision?

The following examples may help illustrate how an applicant may comply with Section 427.

Last Updated: April 16, 2020

Request for Proposal Document 37

(1) An applicant that proposes to carry out an adult literacy project serving, among others, adults with limited English proficiency, might describe in its application how it intends to distribute a brochure about the proposed project to such potential participants in their native language.

(2) An applicant that proposes to develop instructional materials for classroom use might describe how it will make the materials available on audio tape or in Braille for students who are blind.

(3) An applicant that proposes to carry out a model science program for secondary students and is concerned that girls may be less likely than boys to enroll in the course, might indicate how it intends to conduct "outreach" efforts to girls, to encourage their enrollment.

We recognize that many applicants may already be implementing effective steps to ensure equity of access and participation in their grant programs, and we appreciate your cooperation in responding to the requirements of this provision.

Estimated Burden Statement for GEPA Requirements

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The valid

OMB control number for this information collection is 1890-0007.

The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 1.5 hours per response, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: Director, Grants

Policy and Oversight Staff, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW (Room

VERIFICATION OF PRIVATE SCHOOL CONSULTATION

According to the non-regulatory guidance for 21 st CCLC, a public school or other public or private organization that is awarded a grant must provide equitable services to private school students, and their families. In designing a program that meets this requirement, grantees must provide comparable opportunities for the participation of both public- and private-school students in the attendance area served by the grant. Grantees must consult with private school officials during the design and development of the 21st CCLC program on issues such as how the children's needs will be identified and what services will be offered. Services and benefits provided to private school students must be secular, neutral, and non-ideological. This communication must be verified by completing the form below.

Appendix F

Evidence of Joint Planning with Co-Applicants

In determining whether an application has been “submitted jointly,” States should look for evidence in the application that the LEA and at least one other organization collaborated in the planning and design of the program, each have substantial roles to play in the delivery of services, share grant resources to carry out those roles, and have significant ongoing involvement in the management and oversight of the program. States may want to consider what organization(s) wrote the application, what organization will be the fiscal agent, whether there is a history of these organizations working together, and whether there is evidence in the application of integration of the after-school program activities with the regular school day program. Letters of endorsement are not by themselves sufficient evidence that organizations or school districts have substantially been involved in the design of a program. (This clarification comes from the USDOE Nonregulatory Guidance for 21 st

CCLC programs.)

Evidence such as meeting agendas, sign-in sheets and planning documents should be included in the pages after the Appendix F signature sheet.
