<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>SALEM </b>– Today the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has opened the next competition for $9.5 million in funds for 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) grants. This program supports the creation
of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local standards in core academic
subjects such as reading and math, provides students with a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs, and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
<br>
<br>
Eligible entities include, but are not limited to, school districts, education service districts, community colleges, faith-based and community organizations, charter schools and city and county agencies. Schools and community organizations are encouraged to
apply as partners. <br>
<br>
The 21st CCLC 2013 request for proposal and application are posted on ODE’s 21st CCLC website:
<a href="http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=108">http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=108
</a><br>
<br>
The 21st CCLC application has been revised since previous competitions, so applicants should be sure to download the new 2013 grant application.
<b><span style="color:red">Completed grant applications must be received at ODE by 5:00 PM on Tuesday June 4, 2013.</span></b> Successful proposals will be funded as of July 1, 2013. All awards are pending receipt of federal funds.
<br>
<br>
