NYSED has established a list of eligible districts (see below on page 3) from among those districts that (1) identified as Title I Focus Districts, (2) have at least one Priority or Focus School and (3) have a district poverty rate (FRPL) of 50%. From among the cohort of districts that meet those initial criteria, NYSED then identified districts that ranked among the top 18 in the state related to within District Overall Segregation and the top 12 in the State for Between District Segregation. Eligible school districts must demonstrate that their proposed integration plans are designed in part to improve educational outcomes for students who attend Priority or Focus Schools. Funding Funding for the NYSIP-PLC grant will be allocated as follows: Up to $50,000 per participating district with fewer than 5,000 students; Up to $57,500 per participating districts with at least 5,000 but fewer than 15,000 students; Up to $65,000 per participating districts with at least 15,000 students; Up to $68,000 per participating district with at 15,000 students and located in West New York to account for increased travel expenses. Phase I is a non-competitive grant, but Phase II and III of the NYSIP program will be competitive grants. Although applicants will be invited to participate in all three phases of the program, participants are not guaranteed to receive funding for Phase II and III of the grant. The final Phase I submission (described below), in addition to districts’ participation throughout the PLC, will be taken into account when NYSED decides which participants will advance to Phase II of the program. The list of eligible districts and allocations are shown below: District Name Type of Segregation Enrolled Allocation ALBANY CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT Overall Between District 8,997 $57,500 BUFFALO CITY SCHOOL Overall Within and DISTRICT Between District 31,359 $68,000 CENTRAL UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT Overall Between District 7021 $57,500 EAST RAMAPO CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT (SPRING VALLEY Overall Between District 8472 $57,500
