    Absolute Priority: The priority in the notice of final priority for 
this program, as published in the Federal Register on October 30, 1995 
(60 FR 55246-55247) applies to this competition.
    Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) and section 7115(a) of the Act, the 
Secretary gives an absolute preference to applications that meet the 
following priority. The Secretary funds under this competition only 
applications that meet this absolute priority:

in each LEA served, is at least 1,000 or at least 25 percent of the 
total student enrollment.
    Competitive Priority: Within the absolute priority specified in 
this notice, the Secretary under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i) and 34 CFR 
299.3(b) gives preference to applications that meet the following 
competitive priority. The Secretary awards 5 points to an application 
that meets this competitive priority. These points are in addition to 
any points the application earns under the selection criteria for the 
program:
    Projects that will contribute to systemic educational reform in an 
Empowerment Zone, including a Supplemental Empowerment Zone, or an 
Enterprise Community designated by the United States Department of 
Housing and Urban Development or the United States Department of 
Agriculture, and are made an integral part of the Zone's or Community's 
comprehensive community revitalization strategies.
    A list of areas that have been designated as Empowerment Zones and 
Enterprise Communities is provided at the end of this notice.
    Invitational Priority: Within the absolute priority specified in 
this notice, the Secretary is particularly interested in applications 
that meet the invitational priority in the next paragraph. An 
application that meets this invitational priority does not receive 
competitive or absolute preference over other applications (34 CFR 
75.105(c)(1)).
    Applicants that consider the Department of Education Professional 
Development Principles in planning and designing a Systemwide 
Improvement Grant project.
    These 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.
