Full Text of Announcement

I. Funding Opportunity Description

    Purpose of Program: This program supports the establishment of 
Presidential Academies for the Teaching of American History and Civics 
that offer workshops for both veteran and new teachers of American 
history and civics to strengthen their knowledge and preparation for 
teaching these subjects (Presidential Academies).
    Priorities: This competition contains one absolute priority and one 
invitational priority. We are establishing the absolute priority in 
accordance with section 437(d)(1) of the General Education Provisions 
Act (GEPA).
    Absolute Priority: For FY 2005 and any subsequent year in which we 
make awards from the list of unfunded applicants from this competition, 
this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we 
consider only applications that meet this absolute priority.
    This priority is:

Absolute Priority--Presidential Academies for New and Veteran Teachers 
of American History and Civics

    An applicant for a Presidential Academy must:
    (a) Propose a project that would serve both new and veteran middle 
and/or high school teachers of American history and civics.
    (b) Propose a project that provides for a summer residential 
academy of at least two weeks that focuses on helping teachers acquire 
a deeper understanding and knowledge of American history and civics. 
The academy must not replace a current, established project.
    (c) Describe, in its application, how the professional development 
provided by the experience in the academy will improve student 
achievement in history and civics.
    (d) Demonstrate, in its application, how specific civics and 
traditional American history content will be covered by the project, 
including the following:
    (1) Civics content: An understanding of the development and 
function of local, State and Federal Government and citizens' 
responsibilities with respect to these institutions.
    (2) Traditional American history content:
    (i) Significant issues, episodes and turning points in the history 
of the United States.
    (ii) How the words and deeds of individuals have determined the 
course of the Nation.
    (iii) How the principles of freedom and democracy articulated in 
the founding documents of this nation have shaped the United States' 
struggles and achievements as well as its social, political, and legal 
institutions and relations.
    (e) Propose an evaluation on the success of the project in 
achieving project objectives that will (1) provide quality data related 
to the performance measure for this program listed in Section VI, 4 of 
this notice; and (2) provide the Department an interim evaluation 
report near the end of the third budget period. The Department, at its 
discretion, will use the evaluation results along with the annual 
performance report to determine whether to continue the grant (See 34 
CFR 75.250 through 34 CFR 75.253).
    The evaluation plan must be designed to shape the development of 
the project from the beginning of the project period. The plan must 
include benchmarks that monitor progress toward specific project 
objectives and performance measures to assess the impact on teaching, 
learning, and other important outcomes for project participants. More 
specifically, the plan must identify the individual(s) and/or 
organization(s) that will evaluate the project and describe their 
qualifications. The plan must describe the evaluation design, 
indicating: (1) What types of data will be collected; (2) when various 
types of data will be collected; (3) what methods of evaluation will be 
used; (4) what instruments will be developed and when; (5) how the data 
will be analyzed; (6) when reports of results and outcomes will be 
available; and (7) how the applicant will use the evaluation to monitor 
progress of the project and to provide accountability information both 
about success at the initial site and effective strategies for 
replication of the academy in other settings. Applicants are encouraged 
to devote an appropriate level of resources to the project evaluation.
    Invitational Priority: Within the absolute priority, we are 
particularly interested in applications that address the following 
invitational priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) we do not give an 
application that meets this invitational priority a competitive or 
absolute preference over other applications.
    This priority is:

Invitational Priority--Schools in High-Need Local Educational Agencies 
(LEAs)

    The proposed project will include a significant proportion of 
project participants from schools in high-need local educational 
agencies (LEAs). As defined in section 2102(3) of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended, a ``high-need''--LEA is an 
LEA
    (a)(1) That serves not fewer than 10,000 children from families 
with incomes below the poverty line, or (2) for which not less than 20 
percent of the children served by the LEA are from families with 
incomes below the poverty line; or
    (b) For which there is (1) a high percentage of teachers not 
teaching in the academic subjects or grade levels the teachers were 
trained to teach, or (2) a high percentage of teachers with emergency, 
provisional, or temporary certification or licensing.
    Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking: Under the Administrative Procedure 
Act (5 U.S.C. 553) the Department generally offers interested parties 
the opportunity to comment on proposed priorities, selection criteria, 
and eligibility requirements. Section 437(d)(1) of GEPA (20 U.S.C. 
1232(d)(1)), however, allows the Secretary to exempt from rulemaking 
requirements, regulations governing the first grant competition under a 
new or substantially revised program authority. This is the first grant 
competition for this program under the American History and Civics 
Education Act of 2004 and therefore qualifies for this exemption. In 
order to ensure timely grant awards, the Secretary has decided to 
forego public comment on the absolute priorities, selection criteria, 
and non-statutory application requirements in this notice under Section 
437(d)(1) of GEPA. These absolute priorities, selection criteria, and 
eligibility requirements will apply to the FY 2005 grant competition 
and any subsequent year in which we make awards based on the list of 
unfunded applicants from this competition.

    Program Authority: P.L. 108-474; 118 Stat. 3898.
    Applicable Regulations: EDGAR in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80,

    Project Period: Up to 60 months. Grantees that propose a 60-month 
project period will be required to supplement the annual performance

evaluation results along with the annual performance report to
