Request for Applications Concerning Early College High School Grant

Eligible Applicants. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is requesting applications under RFA #701-06-020 from school districts or open-enrollment charter schools and institutions of higher education (IHEs) to redesign or create a new Early College High School.

Eligibility Criteria. An Early College High School must meet all of the following eligibility requirements. (1) The Early College High School is an autonomous high school located on a college or university campus, within a larger high school, or on an independent campus. (2) The district in which the high school is located and the postsecondary institution on which the school is situated have entered into an agreement or adopted procedures that address the budget of the school, the sources of revenues, and the responsibilities of each partner for specific costs related to the Early College High School. (3) Joint decision-making procedures are in place to enable the high school and the higher education partner to plan and implement a coherent program across institutions. The budget for the high school reflects resources for supporting the ongoing collaboration between the high school and the higher education institution. (4) The high school and the higher education partner provide academic and support services to students, such as advisory structures, tutoring, personalized learning communities, or guidance counseling, to ensure student success in both high school and college-level coursework. Students have access to the college's facilities, resources, and services, such as sports facilities, writing centers, science labs, libraries, technology centers, and extracurricular activities as appropriate. (5) The school targets for admission students who are at risk of not graduating from high school within four years of entering ninth grade. Schools must be serving traditionally under-served populations with members of student groups who have high percentages of at-risk, economically disadvantaged students and first-time college goers. (6) Students in the Early College High School take a rigorous academic program of study that enables them to complete high school within five years of entering ninth grade and at the same time obtain an associate's degree or 60 semester credit hours toward a baccalaureate degree. An academic plan is in place in the high school showing how students will progress toward this goal. The plan lists high school, college, and dual credit courses by semester and year for each of the five years and indicates when students will satisfy district and state examination requirements. (7) If the Early College High School is not located on a college or university campus, the school has strategies and activities in place that foster a distinct college-going culture, including campus visits or weekend, Saturday, or summer programs on the college campus.

One application per Early College High School should be submitted.

Description. The purpose of Early College High School Grant is to ensure the continued success, sustainability, and, where appropriate, redesign of Early College High Schools, which give students who typically would not pursue postsecondary studies an opportunity to complete high school and a set amount of college-level coursework in an academically supportive environment.

Already established Early College High Schools that receive this grant will be expected to implement programs and activities that redesign existing programs. This grant is intended to supplement (increase the level of services) not supplant (replace) funds from federal, state, or local sources for existing programs. Grantees will also be required to implement strategies and activities to make resources and materials regarding successful practices and lessons learned available to other interested parties.

Dates of Project. The Early College High School Grant will be implemented during the 2006-2009 school years. Applicants should plan for a starting date of no earlier than October 9, 2006, and an ending date of no later than May 31, 2009.

Project Amount. Funding will be provided for approximately 5-10 projects. For the 2006-2007 school year, each project will receive a maximum of $120,000 to plan a new Early College High School, $240,000 to redesign an Early College High School serving Grades 9-12, or $330,000 to redesign an Early College High School serving Grades 6-12. In the second and third year, each project will receive a maximum of $240,000 for an Early College High School serving Grades 9-12 or $330,000 for an Early College High School serving Grades 6-12. Project funding in the second and third year will be based on satisfactory progress of the first-year objectives and activities and on appropriations by the Texas legislature and budget approval by the commissioner of education.

Selection Criteria. Applications will be selected based on the ability of each applicant to carry out all requirements contained in the RFA. Reviewers will evaluate applications based on the overall quality and validity of the proposed grant programs and the extent to which the applications address the primary objectives and intent of the project. Applications must address each requirement as specified in the RFA to be considered for funding. Special consideration or priority will be given to applicants that establish an Early College High School on a college campus with the entering students comprising a cohort at the IHE. The TEA reserves the right to select from the highest-ranking applications those that address all requirements in the RFA.

The TEA is not obligated to approve an application, provide funds, or endorse any application submitted in response to this RFA. This RFA does not commit TEA to pay any costs before an application is approved. The issuance of this RFA does not obligate TEA to award a grant or pay any costs incurred in preparing a response.

Requesting the Application. A complete copy of RFA #701-06-020 may be obtained by writing the Document Control Center, Room 6-108, Texas Education Agency, William B. Travis Building, 1701 N.

If a player reveals a "10X" play symbol, the player wins 10 times the prize shown for that number. No portion of the display printing nor any extraneous matter whatsoever shall be usable or playable as a part of the Instant Game.

In the event a defective ticket is purchased, the only responsibility or liability of the Texas Lottery shall be to replace the defective ticket with another unplayed ticket in that Instant Game (or a ticket of equivalent sales price from any other current Instant Lottery game) or refund the retail sales price of the ticket, solely at the Executive Director's discretion.

2.2 Programmed Game Parameters.

The Texas Lottery Retailer shall verify the claim and, if valid, and upon presentation of proper identification, make payment of the amount due the claimant and physically void the ticket; provided that the Texas Lottery Retailer may, but is not, in some cases, required to pay a $25.00, $50.00, $75.00, $100, $250 or $500 ticket. In the event the Texas Lottery Retailer cannot verify the claim, the Texas Lottery Retailer shall provide the claimant with a claim form and instruct the claimant on how to file a claim with the Texas Lottery. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, a check shall be forwarded to the claimant in the amount due. In the event the claim is not validated, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly. A claimant may also claim any of the above prizes under the procedure described in Section 2.3.B and Section 2.3.C of these Game Procedures.

B. To claim a "WILD 10'S" Instant Game prize of $5,000 or $110,000, the claimant must sign the winning ticket and present it at one of the Texas Lottery's Claim Centers. If the claim is validated by the Texas Lottery, payment will be made to the bearer of the validated winning ticket for that prize upon presentation of proper identification. When paying a prize of $600 or more, the Texas Lottery shall file the appropriate income reporting form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and shall withhold federal income tax at a rate set by the IRS if required. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

C. As an alternative method of claiming a "WILD 10'S" Instant Game prize, the claimant must sign the winning ticket, thoroughly complete a claim form, and mail both to: Texas Lottery Commission, Post Office Box 16600, Austin, Texas 78761-6600. The risk of sending a ticket remains with the claimant. In the event that the claim is not validated by the Texas Lottery, the claim shall be denied and the claimant shall be notified promptly.

D. Prior to payment by the Texas Lottery of any prize, the Texas Lottery shall deduct a sufficient amount from the winnings of a person who has been finally determined to be:

1. delinquent in the payment of a tax or other money collected by the Comptroller, the Texas Workforce Commission, or Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission;

2. delinquent in making child support payments administered or collected by the Attorney General;

3. delinquent in reimbursing the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for a benefit granted in error under the food stamp program or the program of financial assistance under Chapter 31, Human Resources Code;

4. in default on a loan made under Chapter 52, Education Code; or

E. If a person is indebted or owes delinquent taxes to the State, other than those specified in the preceding paragraph, the winnings of a person shall be withheld until the debt or taxes are paid.

2.4 Allowance for Delay of Payment. The Texas Lottery may delay payment of the prize pending a final determination by the Executive Director, under any of the following circumstances:

A. if a dispute occurs, or it appears likely that a dispute may occur, regarding the prize;

B. if there is any question regarding the identity of the claimant;

C. if there is any question regarding the validity of the ticket presented for payment; or

D. if the claim is subject to any deduction from the payment otherwise due, as described in Section 2.3.D of these Game Procedures. No liability for interest for any delay shall accrue to the benefit of the claimant pending payment of the claim.

2.5 Payment of Prizes to Persons Under 18. If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of less than $600 from the "WILD 10'S" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deliver to an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian a check or warrant in the amount of the prize payable to the order of the minor.

2.6 If a person under the age of 18 years is entitled to a cash prize of more than $600 from the "WILD 10'S" Instant Game, the Texas Lottery shall deposit the amount of the prize in a custodial bank account, with an adult member of the minor's family or the minor's guardian serving as custodian for the minor.

2.7 Instant Ticket Claim Period. All Instant Game prizes must be claimed within 180 days following the end of the Instant Game or within the applicable time period for certain eligible military personnel as set forth in Texas Government Code Section 466.408. Any prize not claimed within that period, and in the manner specified in these Game Procedures and on the back of each ticket, shall be forfeited.

2.8 Disclaimer. The number of prizes in a game is approximate based on the number of tickets ordered. The number of actual prizes available in a game may vary based on number of tickets manufactured, testing, distribution, sales and number of prizes claimed. An Instant Game ticket may continue to be sold even when all the top prizes have been claimed.

3.0 Instant Ticket Ownership.

A. Until such time as a signature is placed upon the back portion of an Instant Game ticket in the space designated, a ticket shall be owned by the physical possessor of said ticket. When a signature is placed on the back of the ticket in the space designated, the player whose signature appears in that area shall be the owner of the ticket and shall be entitled to any prize attributable thereto. Notwithstanding any name or names submitted on a claim form, the Executive Director shall make payment to the player whose signature appears on the back of the ticket in the space designated. If more than one name appears on the back of the ticket, the Executive Director will require that one of those players whose name appears thereon be designated by such players to receive payment.

B. The Texas Lottery shall not be responsible for lost or stolen Instant Game tickets and shall not be required to pay on a lost or stolen Instant Game ticket.

4.0 Number and Value of Instant Prizes. There will be approximately 2,040,000 tickets in the Instant Game No. 729. The approximate number and value of prizes in the game are as follows:

Figure 3: GAME NO. 729 - 4.0
