III. Eligibility Information 1. Eligible Applicants: To be considered for an award under this competition, an applicant must be one or more of the following:
1 An LEA in which 20 percent or more of the students served by the LEA
are from families with an income below the poverty line as defined in section 810141 of the ESEA.
2 A consortium of such LEAs described in paragraph 1 above.
3 The Bureau of Indian Education.
4 An eligible national nonprofit organization as defined in section 2226b2 of the ESEA that serves children and students within the attendance boundaries of one or more eligible LEAs.
Note: Under the definition of poverty line in section 810141 of the ESEA, the determination of the percentage of students served by an LEA from families with an income below the poverty line is based on the U.S. Census Bureaus SAIPE data.

An entity that meets the definition of an LEA in section 810130 of the ESEA
and that serves multiple LEAs, such as a county office of education, an education service agency, or regional service education agency, must provide the most recent SAIPE data for each of the individual LEAs it serves. To determine whether the entity meets the poverty threshold, the Department will derive the entitys poverty rate by aggregating the number of students from families below the poverty line as provided in SAIPE data in each of the LEAs the entity serves and dividing it by the total number of students as provided in SAIPE data in all of the LEAs the entity serves.
An LEA for which SAIPE data are not available, such as a non-geographic charter school, must provide a determination by the State educational agency SEA that 20 percent or more of the students aged 517 in the LEA are from families with incomes below the poverty line based on the same Statederived poverty data the SEA used to determine the LEAs allocation under part A of title I of the ESEA.
