a/ In Kentucky, only those districts with a district improvement plan were eligible to apply for the subgrants. For this reason, the number of applications submitted may be lower than if every district had been eligible.
b/ In Massachusetts, the state believes that some districts that may have applied for funding decided to wait until the next round of applications when a larger pool of money is anticipated.
c/ In Oregon, the number of districts that applied and that are eligible reflects the new alignment of districts that is to occur on July 1, 1995.
NOTE: Districts could have submitted up to three different types of applications. Also, a district could be involved with a consortium of other districts in submitting an application.
