Basis of Award

Project funds will be awarded based on the severity of the Hurricane Sandy-related educational disruption and the applicant district’s fiscal capacity and educational need. Applicants will be ranked according to their documented costs as a percentage of the district’s Total General Fund Expenditures (TGFE), as a proxy for the fiscal impact of the storm. The districts will then be stratified into three weighted impact bands (0-0.25%, 0.25-1.0% or greater than 1.0% of TGFE) Districts will then be eligible for reimbursement of their costs, based on which Need Resource Category they are in, the Department’s standard analytic framework for fiscal capacity. See Attachment 3. Funds will be awarded to the highest need resource categories first and to those with the highest percentage of damage, until funds are extinguished. No single award will be for more than 10% of the total grant funds available.

Applications must be submitted electronically to emscmgts@mail.nysed.gov by 5/15/2013.
