Solicitation Profile
Title II, Part B of the Elementary, and secondary Education Act (ESEA) legislation authorizes The Mathematics and Science Partnerships (MSP) competitive grant program. The overarching purpose of this grant is to increase the academic achievement of students in mathematics and science through partnerships that enhance teaching of elementary and secondary teachers (PK-12). Through partnerships between local school districts and Institutions of Higher Education, teachers participate in professional learning opportunities that strengthen content-pedagogical knowledge and instructional practices in mathematics and science. Partnerships between high-need school districts and the science, technology, engineering and mathematics departments in Institutions of Higher Education are at the core of an innovative comprehensive systems approach to enhance teaching and learning.

Eligible Applicant: A high-need Local Education Agency: the high-need Local Education Agency (LEA) must be the applicant and fiscal agent of the partnership. The LEA must partner with an engineering, mathematics or science department of an Institution of Higher Education that has a registered curriculum in engineering, science or mathematics (section 101(a)) of the Higher Education Act of 1965).

For purposes of this grant, a high-need LEA is defined as a public school district (“Eligible District”) or public charter school (“Eligible Charter School”) that has at least 50% of students from low-income families as determined using the criteria specified in code 0198 (Poverty-from low-income family) in New York State Student Information Repository System (SIRS), also known as the level 2 Statewide data warehouse, 2016-2017 school year. A list of eligible applicants that meet this criterion is posted separately with this RFP.

For the purpose of this application, NYCDOE will be the lead LEA applicant to serve schools in the NYC Community School Districts that are included on the eligibility list. Only one application from NYCDOE can be submitted.
