Priority Considerations Data

Where available, CDE has compiled data around the priority considerations to best support LEPs with the submission process. The compiled data is available here.

Funding Request Limits:

LEPs are invited to submit applications that budget up to a maximum of $2,200 per student served by the program per full school year. This maximum is based on ensuring that all students experience a tutoring program meeting all the elements of research-based, high-quality, high-impact tutoring programs. CDE expects that the cost per student served during the 2021-2022 school year will be below this amount due to the timing of this grant.
