Must the LEA of a FSCS site be a partner, or can any LEA meet the LEA partner requirement under eligible applicants?
As noted in response to question one, most public elementary and secondary schools operate under the jurisdiction of an LEA, and, for that reason, have no independent authority to apply for grants or make binding commitments independent of their LEA. For that reason, a public elementary and secondary school that wishes to be an FSCS site would need its LEA to participate in the consortium applying for an FSCS grant – either as a partner or as the lead applicant.
