Funding is usually done in two rounds, due to all funds not being allocated in the first round. In order to use the full funding of $300,000,000, the CDE offers a second round of funding for those LEAs that might have missed the first round or for LEAs that might have not received funding in the first round. Those who applied in the first round and received funds are not eligible to apply in round B. |
