innovative, locally designed projects to expand or enhance existing 
bilingual education or special alternative instructional programs for 
LEP students. Grantees shall provide inservice training to classroom 
teachers, administrators, and other school or community-based

career counseling for LEP children and youth, and providing intensified 
instruction.

Priority

    Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) and section 7113(b)(2)(A) of the Act, the 
Secretary is particularly interested in applications that meet the 
following invitational priority. However, an application that meets 
this invitational priority does not receive competitive or absolute 
preference over other applications:
    Applicants that consider the Department of Education Professional 
Development Principles in planning and designing required inservice 
training activities in their Program Enhancement proposal. Those 
Principles call for educator professional development that focuses on 
teachers as central to student learning, yet includes all other members 
of the school community; focuses on individual, collegial, and 
organizational improvement; respects and nurtures the intellectual and 
leadership capacity of teachers, principals, and others in the school 
community; reflects best available research and practice in teaching, 
learning, and leadership; enables teachers to develop further expertise 
in subject content, teaching strategies, uses of technologies, and 
other essential elements in teaching to high standards; promotes 
continuous inquiry and improvement embedded in the daily life of 
schools; is planned collaboratively by those who will participate in 
and facilitate that development; requires substantial time and other 
resources; is driven by a coherent long-term plan; is evaluated 
ultimately on the basis of its impact on teacher effectiveness and 
student learning; and uses this assessment to guide subsequent 
professional development efforts.

Notice to All Applicants

    Thank you for your interest in this program. 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 (Pub. L. 103-382).

To Whom Does This Provision Apply?

    Section 427 of GEPA affects applicants for new discretionary 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.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

[[Page 2833]]

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 section allows applicants discretion in developing the 
required description. The statute highlights six types of barriers that 
can impede equitable access or participation that you may address: 
gender, race, national origin, color, disability, or age. Based on 
local circumstances, you can determine whether these or other barriers 
may prevent your students, teachers, etc. from such access or 
participation. Your description 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 Requirements of 
This Provision?

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

    According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are 
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this 
information collection is 1801-0004 (Exp. 8/31/98). The time required 
to complete this information collection is estimated to vary from 1 to 
3 hours per response, with an average of 1.5 hours, including the time 
to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather and 
maintain 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: U.S. Department of Education, Washington, DC 20202-4651.

Additional Non-Regulatory Guidance

(Questions and Answers)

Program Enhancement Grants

    Q. Are Program Enhancement Grants directed to single schools, 
groups of schools or entire school districts?
    A. The grants are directed to all of the above, as long as the 
eligible applicant has an existing bilingual education or special 
alternative instructional program that is to be enhanced or expanded. 
To qualify for eligibility for a Program Enhancement Grant, the 
existing bilingual education or special alternative educational program 
does not necessarily have to be a Title VII project but could also be a 
State or local project.
    Q. Are preschool/early childhood and adult education programs 
eligible?
    A. Preschool/early childhood programs for limited English 
proficient (LEP) students are eligible for funding. Also, programs that 
serve adults are eligible for funding if the program is specifically 
designed as a family education program with parent outreach and 
training activities that will assist parents to become active 
participants in the education of their children. (Section 
7113(b)(2)(B)(i); 20 U.S.C. 7423(b)(2)(B)(i)). All applicants must 
propose programs that expand or enhance ``existing bilingual education 
and/or special alternative instructional programs.'' The statute 
provides specific definitions for a bilingual education program, a 
special alternative instructional program, and a family education 
program that applicants should consult in preparing their proposals. 
(Section 7501(1)(6) and (15); 20 U.S.C. Sec. 7601(1), (6), and (15)).
    Q. When can a CBO or an IHE become the lead entity on a Program 
Enhancement Grant?
    A. A CBO or IHE may become the lead entity only if the application 
is approved by an LEA, and if it proposes one or more of the following 
programs: (1) early childhood programs; (2) family education programs; 
and (3) instructional programs which supplement the educational 
services provided by the LEA. (Section 7113(c)(3); 20 U.S.C. 
7423(c)(3)).
    Q. What is meant by the provision that allows local educational 
agencies (LEA's) to apply ``in collaboration with an institution of 
higher education, community-based organization or local or State 
educational agency?''
    A. Unless a community-based organization (CBO) or institution of 
higher education (IHE) is applying under the provision discussed in the 
previous question and answer, it must submit an application under this 
program in collaboration with an LEA. In order for a State educational 
agency (SEA) to participate in this program at all, it must submit an 
application in collaboration with an LEA. (Section 7113(c)(2); 20 
U.S.C. 7423(c)(2)). The requirements for entering into a joint or group 
application, which would include a collaborative application, are set 
out in 34 CFR 75.127 to 75.129.
    Q. Is there a requirement that preservice activities take place 
before a Program Enhancement Grant can be carried out?
    A. No. Because Program Enhancement Grants expand or enhance 
existing bilingual education projects and only last for two years, 
there are no requirements regarding activities that must take place 
before a Program Enhancement Grant can be carried out.
    Q. What should be included in the narrative of the application for 
the Program Enhancement Grants?
    A. Since the narrative of the application has a mandatory 25 page 
limit, we recommend that it include a short, but thorough, discussion 
of the existing program's design and its progress in meeting its goals 
and objectives. We also suggest that the applicant address what 
components of the project are to be enhanced or expanded, plans for 
implementation, goals and objectives, etc.
    Q. May we use the same title or name for a Program Enhancement 
Grant that was used for a previous Title VII grants?
    A. Yes, you may keep the same name of your project or select a new 
one.

[[Page 2834]]

    Q. Is there a requirement that the applicant must consult with the 
private schools in designing its application?
    A. Yes. The statutory authority for this program requires 
applicants to take account, in designing the applications, of the needs 
of students with limited English proficiency enrolled in nonprofit 
private elementary and secondary schools in the area to be served by 
the proposed project. Consultation by the applicant with appropriate 
private school officials is part of the requirement.
    The full requirement is set out at Section 7116(h)(2)(20 U.S.C. 
Sec. 7426(h)(2)), and should be carefully reviewed by all applicants. 
The Department, before it can approve an application under this 
program, must determine that this requirement has been met. For that 
reason, applicants should address this requirement in their application 
and must include documentation of their efforts to comply with 
provision's requirement to consult with private school officials.
