Are charter schools eligible to apply for SS/HS?
The only entities eligible to receive a grant under this initiative are LEAs. Because statutes in some States designate individual charter schools as LEAs and others make charter schools part of an existing LEA, interested applicants from charter schools should check with their State educational agency to determine if they are considered to be an LEA. Charter schools that are not LEAs are not eligible to apply directly, but the LEA that they reside in can apply for an SS/HS grant that targets one or more public schools (including charter schools).
