Who is eligible for School and Library Improvement Block Grant funding?
Local educational agencies are eligible for funding from the School and Library Improvement Block Grant if they received funding in 2003-04 from either of the two programs that were included in the School and Library Improvement Block Grant. Charter schools are also eligible to receive block grant funding to the extent they received funding in 2003-04 from the School Library Materials program. Charter schools received funding in 2003-04 in lieu of the School Improvement Program through the Charter School Categorical Block Grant and, hence, are not eligible to receive School and Library Improvement Block Grant funding based on participation in the School Improvement Program. Due to recently enacted legislation, Assembly Bill 740 (Chapter 359, Statutes of 2005), beginning in 2006-07, the School and Library Improvement Block Grant is included in the list of programs for which charter schools may not apply separately due to participation in the Charter School Categorical Block Grant.
