ACTION: Notice of proposed priorities, requirements, definitions, and
selection criteria.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary for Vocational and Adult Education 
proposes priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria 
for a special competition under the Smaller Learning Communities (SLC) 
program. The Assistant Secretary may use these priorities, 
requirements, definitions and selection criteria for a special 
competition using a portion of fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds and also in 
future years. The priorities, requirements, definitions and selection 
criteria proposed in this notice will not be used for all FY SLC 2004 
competitions. Projects funded using these priorities, requirements, 
definitions, and selection criteria would create and/or expand SLC 
activities as well as participate in a national research evaluation of 
supplemental reading programs. Another SLC competition will be 
conducted later this year, awarding additional FY 2004 funds, for 
projects that do not require participation in the national research 
evaluation. Requirements, priorities, definitions, and selection 
criteria for that competition will be proposed in a notice in the 
Federal Register at a later date.
    We propose these priorities, requirements, definitions, and 
selection criteria to focus federal financial assistance on an 
identified national need for scientifically based data on supplemental 
reading programs for adolescents.
