For FY 2022, an LEA (including a public charter school that meets the definition of LEA in section 8101(30) of the ESEA) is eligible for an award under the SRSA program if it meets both criteria below: (a) The total number of students in average daily attendance at all of the schools served by the LEA is fewer than 600; or each county in which a school served by the LEA is located has a total population density of fewer than 10 persons per square mile; and(b) All of the schools served by the LEA are designated with a school locale code of 41, 42, or 43 by the Department’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES); or the Secretary has determined, based on a demonstration by the LEA and concurrence of the State educational agency, that the LEA is located in an area defined as rural by a governmental agency of the State. The Department provides an eligibility spreadsheet containing each LEA eligible for FY 2022 SRSA grant funds, which is available on the Department’s website at: https://oese.ed.gov/offices/office-of-formula-grants/rural-insular-native-achievement-programs/rural-education-achievement-program/small-rural-school-achievement-program/eligibility/. If an LEA on the Department’s list of LEAs eligible to receive an FY 2022 SRSA award will close prior to the 2022-2023 school year, that LEA is no longer eligible to receive an FY 2022 SRSA award and should not apply.

Is this a realistic fit?

• Most of the program's money (96% over five years) went to state and local governments.
• No cost sharing or match is required.
