PSP Addendum 2 - Blue Mountain ELH_Spanish_Final.pdf

This document is an addendum to a Request for Application (RFA) issued by the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) for the Preschool Promise (PSP) program in the Blue Mountain Early Learning Hub region. The purpose of this RFA is to reallocate available PSP slots and establish a waitlist of eligible applicants for the 2024-2025 program year. The addendum modifies the RFA schedule, with key dates including a pre-application conference on May 22nd, questions/clarification requests due by May 29th, application due date of June 17th, and an anticipated award notification on July 12th.

The RFA provides a base funding rate of $15,650 per slot per year, plus $1,100 per slot for transportation enhancement and one-time start-up amounts of $1,000 per existing slot or $2,000 per new site. Eligible applicants must meet detailed criteria related to program mission, equity, family engagement, instructional environments, inclusion, professional development, compensation, financial controls, and business strategy. The DELC reserves the right to adjust evaluation thresholds, conduct additional competitive rounds, and ultimately select or decline to select any applicants based on the best interests of the state. Priority will be given to existing PSP grantees in the reallocation of available slots.
