Optional Extended Year Program

2010 - 2011 OEYP Grants

Background:

Under Texas Education Code Section 29.082, school districts may apply to the Texas Education Agency for funding of an extended year program for a period not to exceed 30 instructional days to provide academic enrichment for students in Kindergarten through Grade 11 who are unlikely to be promoted to the next grade, or students in Grade 12 who are unlikely to graduate. Local education agencies (LEAs) will be eligible for funding if at least 40 percent of their students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 are from educationally disadvantaged families.

Allocation:  

• Five percent of the LEA’s at-risk population in Kindergarten through Grade 12 as reported to PEIMS will be used for determining the LEA’s maximum entitlement.
• A per-pupil amount will be determined by dividing the total 5 percent at-risk population Kindergarten through Grade 12 of the eligible LEAs into the total funding allocation for the Optional Extended Year Program.  
•   Optional Extended Year Program funds not requested by school districts will be reallocated to applicant LEAs.
