Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 070319 001
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), under the Expanding Opportunity Through Quality Charter Schools Program (CSP). Specifically, it is the Developer Grants competition for opening new charter schools, listed as CFDA 84.282B (Funding Opportunity Number: ED GRANTS 070319 001). It is a discretionary grant program, meaning awards are made competitively rather than by formula, and it is designed to help charter school developers cover the early-stage costs required to successfully launch a new public charter school.
At its core, the Charter Schools Program is meant to broaden access to strong public school options, with a clear emphasis on serving all students and particularly students who have historically been underserved. The program’s larger goals include helping students meet challenging state academic standards, increasing the overall number of high-quality charter schools nationwide, and supporting the careful planning and startup work that new charter schools must complete before and during opening. Beyond simply opening schools, CSP also supports learning what works by encouraging evaluation of charter schools’ effects on student achievement and on families and communities. Another theme running through the program is knowledge-sharing: spreading effective practices between charter schools and traditional public schools. Finally, the program aims to improve the wider environment in which charter schools operate by encouraging states to provide facilities support and by strengthening the charter school authorizing process, since authorizer quality is a major driver of charter school quality and accountability.
This particular competition is part of a pair of closely related Developer Grant tracks. One track (CFDA 84.282B) funds the opening of new charter schools, while the other (CFDA 84.282E) funds the replication or expansion of high-quality charter schools. In both cases, the Department provides funds directly to charter school developers to help them plan, design, and implement their schools. Schools supported with these funds provide elementary education, secondary education, or both. They may also include early childhood components or serve postsecondary students, but the central focus is public elementary and secondary programming.
Eligibility is more limited than it might first appear, because it depends heavily on whether a state already has a CSP State Entity grant (CFDA 84.282A). For the new charter school opening grants (84.282B), eligibility is limited to charter school developers located in states that do not currently have a CSP State Entity grant under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The notice also explains a special situation for states operating under an older CSP State Educational Agency grant originally associated with the No Child Left Behind era: in those states, developer eligibility is generally restricted to applicants seeking replication and expansion grants (84.282E), and only when the Department has not approved an amendment allowing the state educational agency to make subgrants for replication and expansion. In practice, applicants need to confirm their state’s CSP 84.282A status and how it affects which developer track they are allowed to pursue.
The award structure outlined in the synopsis indicates an award ceiling of $1,500,000 per grant, with an expectation of about 10 awards. Key timeline details provided include that applications were made available on July 3, 2019, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of August 2, 2019. The intergovernmental review deadline is also listed as August 2, 2019. To help applicants prepare, the Department scheduled a pre-application webinar on Monday, July 8, 2019 at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, with registration handled by email to charterschools@ed.gov using the subject line “DEVELOPER GRANTS PRE-APPLICATION MEETING” and including the attendee’s name, organization, and contact information. No registration fee was required.
For application logistics, the synopsis points applicants to the Department’s Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs, published in the Federal Register on February 13, 2019 (84 FR 3768), which governs how to obtain and submit the application package and includes broader procedural requirements. The notice stresses that the Federal Register application notice is the official controlling document, and that applicants should rely on it for the full requirements, including pre-application and application submission rules, performance measures, priorities, and program contacts. The opportunity lists Hans Neseth as the contact person at the U.S. Department of Education, with the general program email charterschools@ed.gov and a phone number of (202) 401-4125, and provides the Department’s address at 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC.
Overall, this opportunity is meant to provide substantial startup funding to eligible charter school developers who are ready to open new charter schools, with the broader federal intent of increasing high-quality charter options, expanding equitable access for underserved students, encouraging responsible authorizing and facilities support, and generating and sharing evidence-based practices across the public education system. For anyone considering applying, the most important next step is to use the Federal Register notice to verify eligibility based on the state’s CSP grant status and to follow the Department’s common discretionary grant instructions for submission and compliance.Apply for ED GRANTS 070319 001
