Your guidelines say you don't fund "projects that benefit schools that do not specifically serve economically disadvantaged and/or special needs populations." How do you define economically disadvantaged and/or special needs populations?

We do not have an explicit guideline defining "economically disadvantaged." Typical measures could include children who qualify for the national school "free or reduced price" lunch program or whose families have incomes at or below 200% of the most recent Federal poverty level. "Special needs populations" could include students with mental, emotional, or developmental disabilities, students deemed at risk by qualified educators, mental health or youth development professionals, or minority or immigrant children facing linguistic and cultural barriers.
