Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII) Full Service Community Schools (FSCS) Program (CFDA 84.215J) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education under the Fund for the Improvement of Education (FIE). FIE is authorized by section 5411 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (as amended) and is aimed at supporting nationally significant efforts that raise the quality of elementary and secondary education and help students meet challenging academic content and achievement standards. In practical terms, this FSCS competition is designed to help schools and their partners organize a more coordinated set of supports around students and families, with the expectation that better coordinated services will translate into stronger educational outcomes.
At the center of the program is the idea of a full service community school, meaning a public school that serves as a hub for not only instruction, but also integrated academic, social, and health services. The program emphasizes partnerships among three key groups: public elementary and secondary schools, the local educational agencies (LEAs) connected to those schools, and community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, and other public or private entities. The collaboration is meant to reduce fragmentation across services that often operate separately, and instead deliver comprehensive supports to students, students family members, and even community members. The overall goal is to improve educational outcomes for children by addressing barriers to learning and strengthening the supports that surround students both in and out of school.
The notice also frames FSCS as a place-based program. That means the Department is encouraging applicants to concentrate resources and coordinate actions within targeted neighborhoods or communities, rather than spreading efforts thinly across disconnected sites. The rationale is that place-based work can produce compounding benefits when services are aligned and mutually reinforcing, and it can also cut down on redundant efforts among agencies and providers that may otherwise work in parallel without coordination.
For FY 2010, the competition anticipated making about 12 awards, supported by an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated in the summary. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is education.
Eligibility is limited to consortia rather than single entities. Specifically, an applicant must be a consortium consisting of a local educational agency and one or more community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, or other public or private entities. The consortium must also follow the Department of Educations group application rules under EDGAR (34 CFR 75.127 through 75.129), which governs how group applicants structure agreements and responsibilities.
The timeline in the announcement sets out several key dates. Applications were made available on June 8, 2010. A notice of intent to apply was due June 23, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of full applications was July 23, 2010 (with the archive date listed as August 22, 2010). The Department also scheduled a pre-application meeting for prospective applicants on June 17, 2010, held at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC, with the option to participate by conference call or in person. Registration for that meeting was due by June 11, 2010 via email to FSCS@ed.gov, and the session was intended to walk through the purpose of the program, priorities, definitions, selection criteria, application content and submission requirements, and reporting expectations.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Educations e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice is explicit that applicants cannot email an electronic copy of the application to the Department; instead, application data is entered online and saved within the system database as part of the submission process.
For official guidance, applicants are directed to the full Federal Register notice, which is the authoritative source for details such as eligibility nuances, pre-application and application requirements, performance measures, priorities (including any absolute or competitive priorities), and submission and reporting rules. The announcement lists key contacts: Jill Staton at the Office of Innovation and Improvement as the program contact (FSCS@ed.gov, telephone 202-401-2091) and Julius Cotton as a technical contact for access issues with the announcement (julius.cotton@ed.gov, telephone 202-245-6140).
