21st CCLC Grantee Resources - External Organizations
The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) is required under Section 4203(a)(11) of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Title IV, Part B, 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC), to prescreen external organizations that could provide assistance with the implementation of 21st CCLC programs and make a list of prescreened external organizations available to the entities participating in the 21st CCLC program.
Partnering schools with community-based organizations with the intention of offering services to students and their families at ever increasing levels of quality is integral to the 21st Century Community Learning Center model and grant requirements. It is important for partners and schools to have clear and thorough communication around requirements of working with a federal grant program, records retention, and the proper use and confidentiality of student data.
The external organization profile is not considered a contract between the external organization and the OSDE or the State Board of Education (SBE). Responses will only be used to create a preapproved external organization list for 21st CCLC grantees to select a partner from.
