Eligibility:

Any California public local education agency (LEA) operating one or more comprehensive public schools is eligible to submit an application. Eligible applicants include school districts, County Offices of Education, and direct-funded Charter Schools. Scoring will be weighted in favor of existing successful CPA programs that focus on clean technology and renewable energy and that wish to continue their academy program after current SB 70 or Assembly Bill (AB 519) funding expires on June 30, 2012. Second priority will go to schools that do not currently participate in the partnership academies program. Third priority will go to schools that participate in the partnership academies program, but do not currently participate in the green partnership academies program. High schools with an enrollment of sufficient size to accommodate a fully-implemented school-within-a-school of at least 150 students, grades nine through twelve, are encouraged to apply for a CPA grant.
