EARLY READING FIRST PROGRAM

PRE–APPLICATION FORM A
APPLICANT ELIGIBILITY

Each pre-application must be submitted by one or more


entities that qualify as an eligible applicant, and must include
this completed form. An eligible applicant may have other partners;
however, the grantee must be the eligible applicant listed on this form.
Eligible applicants are the following:

(a) One or more local educational agencies (LEAs) that are eligible
to receive a subgrant under the Reading First program (title I, part
B, subpart 1, ESEA) (as of the date of publication of the notice
inviting applications under the Early Reading First program for fiscal
year (FY) 2008).

(b) One or more public or private organizations or agencies


(including faith-based organizations) located in a community served
by an eligible LEA. Unless the public or private organization is a
preschool program applying on its own behalf, it must apply on
behalf of one or more programs that serve preschool-aged children
(such as a Head Start program, a child care program, a family
literacy program such as Even Start, or a lab school at a university).

(c) One or more of the eligible LEAs, applying in collaboration with


one or more of the eligible organizations or agencies.

All applicants must complete Section I of this form.

An applicant also must complete Section II of this form if its eligibility is


based on an LEA that is not listed on a State list posted on the Early
Reading First website, and the State Reading First office or the Bureau
of Indian Education (BIE) verifies that the LEA is in fact eligible to
receive a subgrant under the Reading First program as of the date of
publication of the Early Reading First notice inviting applications for FY
2008.
