Purpose: The Early Learning Transitional Programs grant program is a federally-funded program using redirected FY18 Title I carryover funds, which is intended to improve the cognitive, health and social-emotional outcomes of Title I-eligible students from pre-school to fifth grade. These early learning transitional programs in the primary grades can provide all children with the capacity to retain cognitive gains and social-emotional competencies acquired throughout an academic year. This grant program is a seven month grant program. The maximum award under this program is $150,000 and is funded from FY18 Title I redirected carryover funds. Eligibility to apply for this Early Learning Transitional Programs Grant is open to all New Jersey Title-I funded LEAs (including charter schools and Renaissance Projects) serving Pre-K to 5th grade schools and which have a district poverty rate of 35 percent or higher and operate a Title I targeted assistance or a Title I schoolwide program, in their Title I-funded Pre-K to 5th grade school. The project period is March 1, 2019-September 30, 2019.
