From the absolute priority:

• The SEA will give priority (e.g., award bonus points) to eligible entities that propose to build or expand career pathway programs, including programs that lead to recognized postsecondary credentials, in each of its competitions under which it awards new subgrants of 21st CCLC funds during the project period of the grant awarded under this competition.

From the application requirements:

• The State educational agency (SEA) and each of its partners will cooperate with any evaluation conducted or facilitated by the U.S. Department of Education (Department) or its designees, which may require minimal time and effort at the grantee’s expense after the end of the awarded grant’s project period.

• The funds will be used to supplement, and not supplant, other Federal, State, and local public funds expended to provide programs and activities authorized under the 21st CCLC grant program.

• The project will target students who primarily attend schools eligible for schoolwide programs under section 1114 of the ESEA, and the families of such students, to the extent feasible and appropriate.
