Florence County School District Three is seeking public input on the use of federal funds before submitting federal grant applications for the 2020-2021 school year under the Every Student Succeeds Act, the latest re-authorization of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act approved by the U. S. Congress in December of 2015 and which replaces the No Child Left Behind Act. Through this law, substantial federal support is provided for programs to serve students in Kindergarten through 12th grades.
The district anticipates receiving funds for Title I, II, III, IV, and V. The grants are for Title I, Part A – Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies; Title II, Part A – Supporting Effective Instruction; Title III, Part A, Subpart 1 – English Language Acquisition and Language Enhancement; Title IV, Part A – Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants; Title IV, Part B – 21st Century Community Learning Centers; and Title V, Part B, Subpart 2 – Rural and Low-Income School Program.
The deadlines for these grants range from June 1 through July 1.
Because these grants deal with federal funds, the district is asking for comments and suggestions from parents and community stakeholders.
There will be a public informational meeting about Title I, II, III, IV, and V on Monday, April 6, 2020. The meeting will be held from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. in the Banquet Hall at Nan Ya Plastics Corp located at 140 Beulah Road in Lake City.
Any private schools within Florence County School District Three’s enrollment zone interested in participating or anyone interested in submitting comments or suggestions should contact Linda Hair at email or call 843-374-8652, ext. 1111.
