REAP Overview

  • Title V, Part B, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965

(ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, authorizes REAP, which comprises two formula grant programs:

  • the Small, Rural Schools Achievement (SRSA) grant [ESSA, Title V, Part B,

Subpart 1]

  • the Rural, Low-Income Schools (RLIS) grant [ESSA, Title V, Part B, Subpart 2]
  • Both grants were designed to supplement funding to help rural local

education agencies (LEAs) increase student academic achievement.

REAP Overview Continued

  • The RLIS grant targets rural LEAs that serve large numbers of low-income

students.

– The Department makes allocations to SEAs, who in turn make sub-grants to LEAs. – Application in IWAS (71 Eligible School Districts)

  • The SRSA grant provides funds to very small, rural LEAs.

– The Department (DOE) awards these grants directly to eligible LEAs. – SRSA-eligible LEAs also qualify for the Alternative Fund Use Authority [Section 5221 (a) & (c) ] that provides additional flexibility in how they can expend federal education funds (Title IIA & IVA Flexibility)(189 Eligible School Districts)
