Correction
Appendix B to the November 18 Final Rule (74 FR 59688) provided a scoring rubric containing a rubric and allocation of point values that peer reviewers will use to score applications from States under the Race to the Top Fund. Appendix B contained several errors that we are correcting in this notice.
First, the chart on pages 59814 and 59815 omitted certain maximum point values for the selection criteria. The corrected chart provided in this notice includes new rows for point values 6, 8, and 28. It does not change any of the previously published rows.
Second, in several instances throughout Appendix B, in providing General Reviewer Guidance for certain of the selection criteria, we refer reviewers to application requirement (d) (Current Status and Evidence) when the reference should not have been included or the reference should have been to application requirement (e) (Plan for Use of Funds).
Finally, there was an error in the “Reviewer Guidance Specific to Criterion (F)(2)(iii)” on page 59825. We incorrectly stated both that “low” points would be awarded if a State does not have a charter school law and that no points are earned if the State has no charter school law. The reference to “low” points being awarded if a State does not have a charter school law was incorrect.
To correct these errors, the Department makes the following corrections to the November 12 Final Rule:
1. On pages 59814 and 59815, the chart is removed and replaced with the following chart:
Maximum point value | Quality of applicant's response | ||
---|---|---|---|
Low | Medium | High | |
45 | 0-12 | 13-33 | 34-45 |
40 | 0-10 | 11-29 | 30-40 |
35 | 0-9 | 10-25 | 26-35 |
30 | 0-8 | 9-21 | 22-30 |
28 | 0-8 | 9-20 | 21-28 |
25 | 0-7 | 8-18 | 19-25 |
21 | 0-5 | 6-15 | 16-21 |
20 | 0-5 | 6-14 | 15-20 |
15 | 0-4 | 5-10 | 11-15 |
14 | 0-4 | 5-9 | 10-14 |
10 | 0-2 | 3-7 | 8-10 |
8 | 0-2 | 3-5 | 6-8 |
7 | 0-2 | 3-4 | 5-7 |
6 | 0-1 | 2-3 | 4-6 |
5 | 0-1 | 2-3 | 4-5 |
