A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Biennial Evaluation Report - FY 93-94 Chapter 128 Educational Improvement PartnershipsNational Programs Inexpensive Book Distribution (No CFDA Number) I. Program Profile Legislation: Section 1563 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended (20 U.S.C. 2963) (expires September 30, 1999). Purpose: To support and promote the establishment of reading motivation programs, including the distribution of inexpensive books to students in order to encourage students to learn to read. Funding History Fiscal Year Appropriation Fiscal Year Appropriation II. Program Information and Analysis Population Targeting The Inexpensive Book Distribution Program is directed at preschool, elementary, and secondary students. As a result of the National Literacy Act Amendment of 1991, the program places a selection priority, for new grantees, on children with special needssuch as low-income children, children at risk for school failure, children with disabilities, emotionally disturbed children, foster children, homeless children, migrant children, children without access to libraries, institutionalized children, incarcerated children, and children whose parents are institutionalized or incarcerated. Since the Literacy Act passed, 35 new projectsthat serve over 20,000 childrenhave been added to the 3,000 previously funded projects. The Administration's proposal for reauthorizing the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program would encourage local capacity building by limiting the number of years projects can receive funding, and give priority to new projects serving children with special needs.
