Title: Recommendation: Description: The Public Charter Schools Federal Grant Program 2004-2005 Implementation Second-Year Application Grant is a discretionary non-competitive grant authorized by Federal CFDA #84.282A - Title V, Part B, Subpart 1 (formerly Title X, Part C) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The funding purpose of the Public Charter Schools Federal Grant Program 2004-2005 Implementation Grant Second-Year Application Grant is to assist Charter Schools to provide an innovative educational delivery system that will increase the achievement of students, thereby helping to expand and improve the quality of school choice options for families. To maintain the reading initiative, the grant must support the Just Read, Florida! initiative as part of the required Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Accountability area described in Section III.B. Information about the initiative is available at http://www.justreadflorida.org. Grant recipients will submit a final year report on outcomes describing the improvement in student achievement and other outcomes resulting from the grant. All applicants are required to describe in a marketing plan how they will disseminate information and communicate results of the project to the appropriate population. The target population is students, parents, and staff who are served or employed by Charter Schools. District Staff has reviewed the Implementation Grant application submitted for Palm Beach School for Autism.
