Who May Apply:

Section 1308(d) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) permits an SEA to enter into a consortium with another State or “other appropriate entity”. An “appropriate entity” can be any public or private agency or organization, such as a school district, a charter school, a nonprofit or for-profit organization, or an institution of higher education.
