Are there specific types of demographic data an applicant must provide in the application submittal?
Under the Absolute Priority that was published in the Federal Register for the FSCS program, applicants must provide a comprehensive plan that includes descriptions of the students, families, and school community to be served, including information about the demographic characteristics and needs of the students, families, and community residents, the estimated number of individuals to be served, and the frequency of services to be provided. Applicants should provide demographic characteristics appropriate to the needs and context of services proposed in the application. For example, an application proposing early childhood activities would involve different demographic information than an application proposing a high school-level dropout prevention and counseling program.
