Rural Reminder

"Where's the rural education money at?" you ask. The federal Department of Education's Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) funds two programs; the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program and the Rural and Low-Income Schools (RLIS) program.

The SRSA program provides eligible LEAs with flexibility in using formula grant funds they receive under certain state-administered federal programs (parts of Titles I and I, Title III, parts of Title IV, and Title V, Part A). This program component is nicknamed "REAP-Flex." SRSA also authorizes formula grant awards directly to such LEAs to support various local activities that support student achievement. New awards average around $20,000.

The RLIS program authorizes formula grant awards to SEAs, which in turn make subgrants to eligible LEAs (rural LEAs not eligible for SRSA). Average awards to SEAs are about $2 million, ranging from Idaho's $21,069 to Texas's $7,512,087.
