DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Office of Innovation and Improvement; Overview Information:
Charter School Programs; Notice reopening fiscal year (FY) 2009
competition for Charter School Programs
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.282A.
SUMMARY: On December 15, 2008, we published in the Federal Register (73
FR 76014) a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2009 for
the Charter School Programs (CSP). The original notice for the FY 2009
CSP competition established a January 29, 2009, deadline date for
eligible applicants to apply for funding under this program. For this
competition, applicants are required to submit their applications
electronically through the Governmentwide Grants.gov site
(www.Grants.gov). Grants.gov experienced a substantial increase in
application submissions that resulted in system slowness on the
deadline date. For this reason we are reopening and establishing new
deadline dates for the FY 2009 competition for CSP. Applicants must
refer to the notice inviting applications for new awards that was
published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2009 (73 FR 76014)
for all other requirements concerning this reopened competition. The
new deadline dates are:
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: February 25, 2009.
Applications for grants under this competition must be submitted
electronically using the Grants.gov Apply site (Grants.gov). For
information (including dates and times) about how to submit your
application electronically, please refer to section IV. 6. Other
Submission Requirements in the December 15, 2008, notice (73 FR 76016).
Note: For all applicants submitting a new application in
accordance with this notice, please note that you must use the
current application package posted on Grants.gov. That is,
Grants.gov will reject any submission from the earlier application
package, which was available on Grants.gov through the original
application deadline of January 29, 2009.
Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: April 27, 2009.
