Can a district apply if the district is made up of only one school?
Yes

Can an early childhood center be included as a “school” in a district?
No, but early childhood can be mentioned throughout the narrative portions of the application and program funding can be allocated to these services since this qualifies as one or more pipeline services.

If my district is already receiving funding from a Full-Service Community Schools grant, should we apply?
Not at this time.

If my district applied for the 2023/4 Full-Service Community Schools grant (recipients will be notified in Dec. 2023), should we apply?

No
