Supplementary Information

(a) Background

    The Goals 2000: Educate America Act (Pub. L. 103-227) (20 U.S.C. 
5801 et seq.) (the Act) asks States and communities to reform their 
education systems through the development and implementation of 
comprehensive improvement plans based on challenging academic standards 
and high expectations for all students. One of the fundamental premises 
underlying Goals 2000 is that comprehensive, systemic reform should be 
promoted from the bottom up in communities, LEAs, and schools. Section 
314(b) of the Goals 2000 legislation helps facilitate bottom-up reform 
by authorizing the Secretary to provide funding and technical 
assistance to urban and rural LEAs with large numbers or concentrations 
of students who are economically disadvantaged or who have limited 
English proficiency in order for the LEAs to develop and implement 
comprehensive local improvement plans designed to help all children 
reach challenging academic standards.
(b) Serving Large Numbers or Concentrations of Students Who Are 
Economically Disadvantaged or Who Have Limited English Proficiency

    In its application, an LEA should demonstrate the standard used to 
determine the number or concentration of students who are economically 
disadvantaged or who have limited English proficiency. For example, an 
``economically disadvantaged student'' could be defined as one eligible 
for free or reduced price lunch under the National School Lunch Act. If 
this measure were used by the applicant, its application would indicate 
the number or percentage of students receiving free or reduced price 
lunch.
    The Secretary is particularly interested in receiving applications 
from urban or rural LEAs that satisfy the requirement for serving large 
numbers or concentrations of economically disadvantaged or limited 
English-proficient students by demonstrating that at least one of the 
following conditions is present:
    (1) The number of economically disadvantaged elementary and 
secondary school students (as measured, for example, by students 
eligible for free or reduced price lunch under the National School 
Lunch Act) in the schools administered by the LEA totals at least 
35,000.
    (2) The number of economically disadvantaged elementary and 
secondary school students (as measured, for example, by students 
eligible for free or reduced price lunch under the National School 
Lunch Act) in the schools administered by the LEA is at least 70 
percent of the total number of elementary and secondary students in 
those schools.
    (3) The number of elementary and secondary school students who have 
limited English proficiency in the schools administered by the LEA 
totals at least 10,000.
    (4) The number of elementary and secondary school students who have 
limited English proficiency in the schools administered by the LEA is 
at least 25 percent of the total number of elementary and secondary 
students in those schools.
    LEAs that meet one or more of these four conditions will not 
receive competitive or absolute preference over other LEAs that serve a 
large number or concentration of economically disadvantaged or limited 
English-proficient students. The specific numbers and percentages in 
these examples merely illustrate some of the possible ways that an LEA 
might demonstrate that it serves ``large numbers or concentrations of 
students who are economically disadvantaged or who have limited English 
proficiency.'' Eligible LEAs may have fewer numbers or lower 
percentages of economically disadvantaged or limited English-proficient 
students than the specific numbers or percentages outlined above.

(c) Eligible LEAs That Serve Schools in Empowerment Zones or Enterprise 
Communities

    The Secretary strongly encourages applications from eligible LEAs 
that serve schools in communities designated as Empowerment Zones or 
[[Page 27817]] Enterprise Communities by the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development and the Department of Agriculture. The emphasis in 
section 314(b) of the Act on coordinated planning to meet the pressing 
needs of urban and rural LEAs with large numbers or concentrations of 
limited English-proficient and economically disadvantaged students 
makes it ideally suited to play a key role in the Empowerment Zone and 
Enterprise Community program.

(d) Applications From LEAs in States Not Participating in Goals 2000

    LEAs with large numbers or concentrations of students who are 
economically disadvantaged or who have limited English proficiency are 
eligible to apply for a local reform grant whether or not the State in 
which they are located is participating under Title III of Goals 2000.

(e) Developing and Implementing a Local Improvement Plan

    In explaining how its proposed process for developing and 
implementing a local improvement plan would help all students, 
especially economically disadvantaged and limited English-proficient 
students, reach challenging academic standards, an applicant might 
demonstrate--
    (1) How the local plan development and implementation would be 
aligned with any reform initiatives that are being undertaken by the 
State or LEA under the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, the Improving 
America's Schools Act of 1994, the School-to-Work Opportunities Act, 
and other reform programs;
    (2) The process by which the applicant would develop and implement 
specific strategies to ensure that economically disadvantaged students 
and limited English-proficient students, as well as other students, 
will reach challenging content and student performance standards;
    (3) The process by which other programs administered by the 
applicant would be effectively integrated into the local reform plan; 
and
    (4) The process by which the applicant would ensure that individual 
schools will have the flexibility to develop school-based plans that 
address their particular needs and that are consistent with the local 
improvement plan or plans.
    In addition, in presenting its plan of operation, an applicant 
might explain how the local improvement plan would be developed and 
implemented through broad-based outreach and collaborative processes. 
The Secretary encourages applicants to address issues such as the 
following in describing these processes:
    (1) The extent to which the local plan would be developed by a 
broad-based panel that is representative of the diversity of the 
students in the community, and that includes teachers, parents, 
advocacy groups, school administrators, business representatives, and 
others, as appropriate;
    (2) How the panel would conduct a grassroots outreach process to 
involve all segments of the community--including teachers, parents, 
advocacy groups, school administrators, business and community leaders, 
and others as appropriate--in a continuing dialogue concerning the 
issues that will be addressed during the development and implementation 
of the plan or plans; and
    (3) How the plan development and implementation process would give 
special consideration to the input received from parents of, and other 
individuals and organizations working with, economically disadvantaged 
and limited English-proficient students.
    The Secretary recognizes that LEAs share similar problems. LEAs are 
encouraged to work in concert with each other and with educational 
reform partners (e.g., business organizations, parent organizations, 
community-based organizations, institutions of higher education, or 
service providers) in developing and implementing their local reform 
plans.

(f) Evaluation Strategies

    In devising evaluation strategies for the proposed project, the 
Secretary encourages applicants to consider issues such as the 
following:
    (1) The process by which rigorous timelines and challenging 
performance indicators would be established for the development and 
implementation of comprehensive local improvement plans; and for plans 
already in the implementation stages, a description of indicators, 
timelines, and methods being used for evaluation;
    (2) How effectively the overall evaluation strategies would assess 
the LEA's progress in developing and implementing its local improvement 
plan, and assess outcomes attained during the project period, 
especially progress toward improved student achievement in the LEA;
    (3) How the LEA would document key activities in the development 
and implementation of the plan;
    (4) How the evaluation findings would be used to provide feedback 
to the grantee so that appropriate modifications could be made; and
    (5) How the evaluation findings would be shared with the community 
as well as other LEAs.
    The Department of Education intends to conduct a national multi-
year evaluation of projects funded under this competition. The 
evaluation may assess all components of the project. Grantees will be 
required to cooperate in the evaluation, including sharing locally 
collected evaluation data with the entity conducting the evaluation. 
The evaluation may examine items such as the following: the process by 
which the plan has been developed; the comprehensiveness of the plan; 
support for the plan; and selected outcome data (e.g., student 
achievement and performance documentation, attendance records). The 
evaluation contractor may also conduct site visits and request 
additional data from the grantee, as appropriate.

Application Requirements

    The authorizing statute--section 314(b) of the Act--provides that 
the grants under this competition should be made ``in accordance with 
the provisions of section 309(a) that the Secretary deems 
appropriate.'' The Secretary has determined that a local improvement 
plan developed under section 314(b) must meet the requirements in 
sections 309(a)(3) (A) through (F), and section 309(a)(3)(H) of the 
Act. That is, each local improvement plan developed with funds awarded 
under this competition shall--
    (A) Be developed by a broad-based panel that--
    (i) Is appointed by the LEA and is representative of the diversity 
of students and community with regard to race, language, ethnicity, 
gender, disability, and socioeconomic characteristics and includes 
teachers, parents, advocacy groups, school administrators, business 
representatives, and others, as appropriate; and
    (ii) Shall, following the selection of its members, establish the 
procedures regarding the operation of the panel, including the 
designation of the chairperson;
    (B) Address districtwide education improvement, directed at 
enabling all students to meet the State content standards and State 
student performance standards, including specific goals and benchmarks, 
reflect the priority of the State improvement plan (for LEAs in Goals 
2000 States or in States undergoing other comprehensive reform efforts) 
and include a strategy for--
    (i) Ensuring that all students have a fair opportunity to learn;
    (ii) Improving teaching and learning; [[Page 27818]] 
    (iii) Improving governance and management;
    (iv) Generating, maintaining, and strengthening parental and 
community involvement; and
    (v) Expanding improvements throughout the LEA;
    (C) Promote the flexibility of local schools in developing plans 
that address the particular needs of their school and community and are 
consistent with the local improvement plan;
    (D) Describe a process of broad-based community participation in 
the development, implementation, and evaluation of the local 
improvement plan;
    (E) Describe how the LEA will encourage and assist schools to 
develop and implement comprehensive school improvement plans that--
    (i) Focus on helping all students reach State content standards and 
State student performance standards; and
    (ii) Address relevant elements of the local improvement plan of the 
LEA identified in paragraph (B);
    (F) Describe how the LEA will implement specific programs aimed at 
ensuring improvements in school readiness and the ability of students 
to learn effectively at all grade levels by identifying the most 
pressing needs facing students and their families with regard to social 
services, health care, nutrition, and child care, and entering into 
partnerships with public and private nonprofit agencies to increase the 
access of students and families to coordinated nonsectarian services in 
a school setting or at a nearby site; and
    (G) Note: The requirements of section 309(a)(3)(G) do not apply to 
the section 314(b) grants;
    (H) Identify, with an explanation, any State or Federal 
requirements that the LEA believes impede educational improvement and 
that such agency requests to be waived in accordance with section 311 
(for those LEAs in Goals 2000 States), which requests shall promptly be 
submitted to the Secretary by the LEA.
    All LEAs applying for a grant are also required to demonstrate that 
they have large numbers or concentrations of students who are 
economically disadvantaged or who have limited English proficiency.
