    Summary

    The 21st CCLC program was amended by Congress as Title IV, Part B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. Its purpose is to create or expand community learning centers that: 

    1. Provide opportunities for academic enrichment, including providing tutorial services to help students, particularly students who attend low-performing schools, to meet State and local student academic achievement standards in core academic subjects such as reading and mathematics; 
    2. Offer students a broad array of additional services, programs and activities, such as youth development activities, drug and violence prevention, counseling, art, music, recreation, technology education and character education, that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students; and 
    3. Offer families of students served by community learning centers opportunities for literacy and related educational development. 

    Multiple program options may be used by all recipients of funding under the 21st CCLC grant including before school, after school, weekends, holidays or summer recess. 


    There are five priorities for this grant. All applicants must meet the Absolute Priority. Applicants may only apply for two of the four competitive priorities:

    • Absolute Priority: Targeting services to low-income schools - Kansas is required to make awards only to applicants that will primarily serve students and families who have students that attend schools where at least 40% of the students qualify to receive free or reduced-cost meals. Primarily” means that at least 51% of students to be served in the proposed program must attend eligible schools. Applications that do not meet the Absolute Priority will not be considered for funding.
    • Competitive Priority I: Applicants that will serve students attending schools that have been identified for Comprehensive Support AND are submitted jointly with community-based and/or faith-based organizations or public or private organizations could potentially receive three (3) priority points.
      • If an applicant demonstrates inability to partner with a community-based organization in reasonable geographic proximity and of sufficient quality to meet the requirements of this part, it is still possible to be awarded this priority.
    • Competitive Priority II: for Programming in the Northwest Region of Kansas: Applicants proposing to serve students attending schools in northwest Kansas (Eligible Counties: Cheyenne, Decatur, Ellis, Gove, Graham, Logan, Norton, Phillips, Rawlins, Rooks, Russell, Sheridan, Sherman, Thomas, Trego, Wallace) could potentially receive ten (10) priority points.
    • Competitive Priority III: for Summer Programming: (3 points) Applicants that incorporate a summer component in addition to other comprehensive out-of-school programming could potentially receive three (3) priority points.
      • Summer programs are required to operate a minimum of:
        • Two (2) weeks
        • Four (4) days per week
        • Four (4) hours per day
    • Competitive Priority IV: for High School Programs. Applicants that specifically incorporate a College and Career Readiness component at the high school level could potentially receive three (3) priority points.
