    Summary

    The Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) is designed to assist rural school districts in using Federal resources more effectively to improve the quality of instruction and student academic achievement.  It consists of two separate programs – the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program and the Rural and Low-Income Schools (RLIS) program.

    The SRSA program provides eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) with greater flexibility in using the formula grant funds that they receive under certain State-administered Federal programs. It also authorizes formula grant awards directly to these LEAs to support a wide range of local activities that support student achievement.

    The RLIS program authorizes formula grant awards to State educational agencies (SEAs), which in turn make subgrants to eligible LEAs either competitively or by formula. LEAs may use RLIS funds to support a broad array of local activities to support student achievement.

    Additional Information

    The SRSA program is a rural school initiative with two components:

    • ?REAP-Flex – the Alternative Uses of Funds Authority: The SRSA alternative uses of funds authority, which is referred to as REAP-Flex” in this guidance, provides eligible LEAs with greater flexibility in using the formula grant funds that they receive under certain State-administered Federal programs. This portion of the SRSA program is not a grant program; it does not provide LEAs with funding. Rather, it gives them greater latitude in spending funds that they receive under other Federal programs so that they can better address their particular needs.
    • The SRSA grant program: An LEA that is eligible to participate in REAP-Flex is also eligible for a grant under the SRSA grant program. The US Department of Education awards SRSA funds directly to eligible LEAs on a formula basis.

  • Eligibility Details

    To be eligible to participate in REAP-Flex and the SRSA grant program, an LEA must –

(In instances in which a State agency defines the area in which an LEA is located as rural, the U.S. Department of Education must agree to the rural designation before the LEA may participate in either REAP-Flex or the SRSA grant program.)

    To be eligible to participate in the RLIS grant program, an LEA must –

    • 20% or more of the children ages 5 to 17 served are from families with incomes below the poverty line; and

    An LEA that is eligible to participate in the SRSA program may not receive funding under the RLIS program. Eligible applicants can be seen at https://www.nd.gov/dpi/uploads/1398/Updatedwith0allocationinfofy19reapmastereligibilitysheet.pdf.
