The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) would like to announce the release of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) 2009 grant application. The primary purpose of the program is to award grants to public school districts, community-based organizations, public/private organizations, faith-based organizations, or a consortium of these organizations, in order to provide communities opportunities to establish or expand community learning centers that provide students, particularly students in high-poverty, low-performing schools, with academic enrichment opportunities to meet state and local student performance standards in core academic subjects such as reading and mathematics along with activities designed to complement the students’ regular academic program. The link to the 21st CCLC 2009 application can be found below.
The Intent to Apply form can be located on page 3 of the application. Please send this information to IDOE no later than January 15, 2010. The official closing date of the application is Friday, February 12, 2010. Applications must be received or postmarked by that date to be eligible for review. IDOE requires applicants to submit an original and 5copies of an application. We anticipate that awards will be announced on or around April 1, 2010.
