Who is Eligible?
An LEA is eligible for an RLIS award if:- Twenty percent or more of the children ages 5 through 17 years served by the LEA are from families with incomes below poverty; and
- All of the schools served by the LEA are designated with a school locale code of 32, 33, 41, 42, or 43.
NOTE: Dual eligibility occurs when an LEA meets the eligibility requirements for both the SRSA program and the RLIS program. Dual-eligible LEAs must choose one grant under which to receive funds each fiscal year.
To see how SRSA differs from RLIS, view the SRSA-RLIS Comparison Table.
