Appendix G

FACTORS GIVEN PRIORITY IN THE PCSP SUBGRANTING PROCESS

  • Some states establish priority factors for targeting some or all of the funding when awarding PCSP subgrants. For example, some respondents answered that their states gave priority to applicants from schools that do or will serve special student populations; other states target schools located in low-income communities (see Exhibit G-1).
  • Respondents were asked to identify all categories that applied in their state. Therefore, percentages do not total 100.
