recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families - Pilot

projects - Consideration of proposals.

A. The State Board of Education shall solicit proposals for,

and if funds are available make grants for, pilot projects that make

coordinated educational services available to families of recipients

of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Such proposals

shall be prepared in cooperation with personnel of the Department of

Human Services and shall address the needs of preschool children,

dropouts, and adult members of such families who have not graduated

from high school or completed a high school equivalency program.

B. The State Board of Education shall determine pilot project

criteria and establish a process for the consideration of proposals.

Such proposals for pilot projects shall be considered on a statewide

competitive basis. The State Board of Education is authorized to

promulgate rules for the operation of such projects. To the extent

that funds are available, funding of projects approved shall include

monies to provide child care while older members of families are

receiving TANF services from the pilot project.
