Priorities, Requirements, Definitions, and Selection Criteria - Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy Program (US Department of Education Regulation) (ED) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Priorities, Requirements, Definitions, and Selection Criteria - Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy Program (US Department of Education Regulation) (ED) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education (Assistant Secretary) announces priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria under the SRCL program. These priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria replace the priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria in the SRCL notice inviting applications for new awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, published in the Federal Register on March 10, 2011. The Assistant Secretary may use these priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria for competitions in FY 2017 and subsequent years as the Department ensures an orderly transition to future programs under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). We take this action to address an area of national need by providing competitive grant awards to State educational agencies (SEAs) to advance literacy skills, including pre-literacy skills, reading, and writing, for children from birth through grade 12, including children living in poverty, English learners, and children with disabilities.
