The Act (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 1003 the following: Each State shall reserve 3 percent of the amount the State receives under chapter B of subpart 1 of part A for each fiscal year to carry out this section. Of such reserved funds, the State educational agency may use up to 1 percent to administer direct student services. From the amount available after the application of subsection (a), each State shall award grants in accordance with this section to local educational agencies to support direct student services.
The State educational agency shall award grants to geographically diverse local educational agencies including suburban, rural, and urban local educational agencies. If there are not enough funds to award all applicants in a sufficient size and scope to run an effective direct student services program, the State shall prioritize awards to local educational agencies with the greatest number of low-performing schools. A local educational agency receiving an award under this section— shall use up to 1 percent of each award for outreach and communication to parents about their options and to register students for direct student services; may use not more than 2 percent of each award for administrative costs related to direct student services; and shall use the remainder of the award to pay the transportation required to provide public school choice or the hourly rate for high-quality academic tutoring services, as determined by a provider on the State-approved list required under subsection (f)(2).
A local educational agency desiring to receive an award under subsection
(b)shall submit an application describing how the local educational agency will— provide adequate outreach to ensure parents can exercise a meaningful choice of direct student services for their child’s education; ensure parents have adequate time and information to make a meaningful choice prior to enrolling their child in a direct student service; ensure sufficient availability of seats in the public schools the local educational agency will make available for public school choice options; determine the requirements or criteria for student eligibility for direct student services; select a variety of providers of high-quality academic tutoring from the State-approved list required under subsection (f)(2) and ensure fair negotiations in selecting such providers of high-quality academic tutoring, including online, on campus, and other models of tutoring which provide meaningful choices to parents to find the best service for their child; and develop an estimated per pupil expenditure available for eligible students to use toward high-quality academic tutoring which shall allow for an adequate level of services to increase academic achievement from a variety of high-quality academic tutoring providers. The State— shall ensure that each local educational agency receiving an award to provide public school choice can provide a sufficient number of options to provide a meaningful choice for parents; shall compile a list of State-approved high-quality academic tutoring providers that includes online, on campus, and other models of tutoring; and shall ensure that each local educational agency receiving an award will provide an adequate number of high-quality academic tutoring options to ensure parents have a meaningful choice of services. .
