Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) Program (CFDA 84.358A) is a U.S. Department of Education grant program designed to help rural school districts address needs that are often harder to meet because of geographic isolation, small enrollment, and limited local capacity. The program provides funding to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) on a formula basis, meaning awards are determined by statutory and program formulas rather than by competitive scoring. This particular notice primarily serves to set and publicize the application deadline for fiscal year (FY) 2010 SRSA funds and to explain which eligible districts must submit an application in order to receive an award for that year.
Eligibility under SRSA is specifically tied to both district size or rural density and to rural classification. An LEA (including a public charter school that qualifies as an LEA under state law) may qualify if it meets one of the following size or density conditions: it serves fewer than 600 students in average daily attendance across all schools in the LEA, or every county in which the LEA operates schools has a population density of fewer than 10 persons per square mile. In addition to that requirement, the LEA must also meet a rural status test. Generally, all schools served by the LEA must carry National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) locale codes of 7 or 8 (as defined using the NCES methodology referenced in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act provisions tied to SRSA). Alternatively, an LEA can qualify if the Secretary determines the LEA is located in an area defined as rural by a state governmental agency, as long as the LEA demonstrates that rural status and the state educational agency concurs.
The FY 2010 notice highlights that not every eligible LEA necessarily has to submit a new application every year, but some do. An eligible LEA must submit an application for FY 2010 SRSA funds if it falls into any of these categories: (1) it has never applied for SRSA funds in any prior year; (2) it received an SRSA grant for FY 2007 but, as of December 31, 2009, had not drawn down any of its FY 2007 SRSA funds from the Department’s Grant Administration and Payment System; or (3) it had been flagged on prior-year SRSA eligibility spreadsheets as needing to reapply due to a lack of drawdown activity, but did not reapply at that time. In other words, the application requirement is aimed at first-time applicants and districts with past grant funds that were not accessed or were otherwise inactive, ensuring the Department can confirm continued eligibility and program participation before releasing additional funds.
For FY 2010, applications were made available on April 23, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of electronic applications was June 30, 2010. The notice specifies that required applicants had to submit electronically through the Department’s Electronic Grant Application System (e-Application) within the e-Grants platform, accessible at http://e-grants.ed.gov. The stated deadline time is Washington, DC time, and the notice emphasizes that late submissions are not guaranteed funding. If an LEA submits after the deadline, the Department may still make an award, but only if funds remain after awards have been made to other eligible LEAs that applied on time. This is an important practical point: even though SRSA is formula-based, timeliness still affects whether a district receives funds in that fiscal year if it is among those required to file an application.
The opportunity is listed as a mandatory grant program in the federal opportunity data, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. It sits under the education funding activity category and is administered by the Department of Education. The public posting date for the opportunity information is April 27, 2010, with an archive date of July 30, 2010, reflecting the period during which the FY 2010 application window and related materials were actively available.
Finally, the notice directs applicants to rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the authoritative requirements, including any pre-application steps, application content, performance measures, priorities, and official submission instructions. It also provides points of contact for help with access or systems issues (including an ED Grants.gov / systems administrator contact) and a program manager contact within the Department. The key takeaway is that SRSA is intended to route federal support to small and geographically rural districts using a formula-driven approach, but districts newly participating or needing to revalidate participation due to prior inactivity had to submit a timely electronic application by the stated FY 2010 deadline to protect their chance of receiving funds.
