Title V ( 20 U.S.C. 7201 et seq. ), as amended by section 5001, is further amended by inserting after part C, as added by section 5004, the following: From funds appropriated under subsection (e), the Secretary shall make grants to eligible entities for the development, implementation, replication, or scaling and rigorous testing of entrepreneurial, evidence-based, field-initiated innovations to improve student achievement and attainment for high-need students, including— early-phase grants to fund the development, implementation, and feasibility testing of a program that prior research suggests has promise, for the purpose of determining whether the program can successfully improve student achievement or attainment for high-need students; mid-phase grants to fund implementation and a rigorous evaluation of a program that has been successfully implemented under an early-phase grant or other effort meeting similar criteria, for the purpose of measuring the program's impact and cost effectiveness, if possible using existing administrative data; or expansion grants to fund implementation and a rigorous replication evaluation of a program that has been found to produce sizable, important impacts under a mid-phase grant or other effort meeting similar criteria, for the purpose of determining whether such impacts can be successfully reproduced and sustained over time, and identifying the conditions in which the program is most effective.
In this section, the term eligible entity means any of the following: A local educational agency. A State educational agency. A consortium of State educational agencies or local educational agencies. A State educational agency or a local educational agency, in partnership with— a nonprofit organization; a small business; a charter management organization; an educational service agency; or an institution of higher education. In awarding grants under subsection (a), the Secretary shall ensure that not less than 25 percent of the funds for any fiscal year are awarded for projects that meet both of the following requirements:
The grantee is— a local educational agency with an urban-centric district locale code of 32, 33, 41, 42, or 43, as determined by the Secretary; a consortium of such local educational agencies; or an educational service agency or a nonprofit organization in partnership with such a local educational agency. A majority of the schools to be served by the project are designated with a school locale code of 32, 33, 41, 42, or 43, or a combination of such codes, as determined by the Secretary.
In order to receive a grant under subsection (a), an eligible entity shall demonstrate that the eligible entity will provide matching funds in an amount equal to 10 percent of the funds provided under a grant under this part, except that the Secretary may waive the matching funds requirement, on a case-by-case basis, upon a showing of exceptional circumstances, such as— the difficulty of raising matching funds for a project to serve a rural area; the difficulty of raising matching funds in areas with a concentration of local educational agencies or schools with a high percentage of students aged 5 through 17— who are in poverty, as counted in the most recent census data approved by the Secretary; who are eligible for a free or reduced priced lunch under the Richard B.
