Provision Previous law No Child Left Behind Act
in the FY1998 Department of Education
Appropriations Act. The FY1998 appropriations
legislation listed specific educational strategies
which schools might seek CSRP grants to
implement, although applicants could propose
alternative strategies, including locally
developed programs, which met specified
general criteria.
CSRP grants were allocated by formula to SEAs,
which then selected grantee LEAs and schools
on a competitive basis. Funds for the Title I
portion of the CSRP were allocated to states in
proportion to their Title I-A Basic Grants, while
the Title X-A portion was allocated to states in
proportion to their population aged 5-17. SEAs
could use up to 5% of grants for administration,
evaluation, and technical assistance. Grants to
individual schools were to be at least $50,000
per year, renewable for up to three years.
Schools participating in the CSRP have been

providers, and also have received technical

appropriations exceed $75 million but are below $250 million, ED would make
competitive grants to SEAs, which would then make competitive subgrants to
LEAs. Finally, if appropriations exceed $250 million, grants would be made by
