Each application must identify participating LEAs that meet the definition of high need LEA in section 2102(3) of the ESEA. Note Section 2102(3) of the ESEA defines a high need LEA as an LEA (a) That serves not fewer than 10,000 children from families with incomes below the poverty line (as that term is defined in section 9101(33) of the ESEA), or for which not less than 20 percent of the children served by the LEA are from families with incomes below the poverty line and (b) For which there is (1) a high percentage of teachers not teaching in the academic subjects or grade levels that the teachers were trained to teach, or (2) a high percentage of teachers with emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or licensing. The NFP describes how applicants must demonstrate that a participating LEA meets this statutory definition of high need LEA (69 FR 24002, 24006). Pursuant to the NFP, we provide the following supplementary information regarding the data an applicant uses to demonstrate eligibility as a high need LEA under this competition As described in the NFP, absent a showing of alternative LEA data that reliably show the number of children from families with incomes below the poverty line that are served by the LEA, the eligibility of an LEA as a high need LEA under component (a) of the definition must be determined on the basis of the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data. The most recent U.S. Census Bureau data can be found in the charts on the Internet at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/saipe/district.html. The Department examines the eligibility of any LEA not listed on these charts on a case by case basis.
