What if a former SS/HS grantee is proposing to provide different or new activities, curricula, programs, or services to schools or subregions served by the first SS/HS project. Is this allowable?

No. The rationale for eliminating the restriction on eligibility that prohibited former SS/HS grantees from applying for new SS/HS funding is, that despite the size of SS/HS grants, some very large LEAs were not eligible to apply for sufficient funding to implement a comprehensive SS/HS plan district wide. That is, the LEA was unable to include all of its schools or subregions in its first SS/HS project. With the elimination of this eligibility restriction, former SS/HS grantees [LEAs] are now able to implement activities, curricula, programs, and services in those schools or subregions that were not served by the first SS/HS grant. It is not our intent to allow prior recipients to “redo” a SS/HS project in the schools and subregions that were served by the first SS/HS project. Applications from former SS/HS grantees that include schools and subregions served by the first SS/HS project will be deemed ineligible and will not be forwarded to peer review.  more
