The Rural Education Achievement Program: Title VI-B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act


To be eligible for REAP funds, an LEA must be designated rural and must meet one of three additional requirements involving enrollment size, population density, and poverty status. The program was appropriated $175 million in FY2010; it provided awards to over 5,500 LEAs (out of a total of about 14,000 nationwide). The authorization for REAP, along with the rest of the ESEA, expired at the end of FY2008. However, these programs continue to operate as long as appropriations are provided. The 112th Congress is expected to consider whether to amend and extend the ESEA programs, including REAP. This report will discuss the challenges facing rural schools, the manner in which REAP addresses these challenges, and reauthorization issues that may arise as Congress takes up the ESEA.
