Current Narrative:

Section 427 of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA )

All proposals considered for funding under Title II are required to include a GEPA Statement. The statement requires that the applicant describe the steps that they propose to take to ensure equitable access to, and equitable participation in, the project for those learners, teachers, and other program beneficiaries with special needs. This statute is not intended to duplicate the requirements of civil rights statutes, but rather to ensure that federally funded projects address statutory barriers (gender, race, national origin, color, disability, age) and any locally identified barriers to access. The description may also refer to other sections of the proposal which address a plan to remove barriers.
