   1. Poverty Ratio (SAIPE), Meal eligibility, etc.
   2. Contextual increases in students in foster, neglected, or delinquent institutions

   1. Have not returned federal funds within the last two years
   2. Remained within 15% carryover range
   3. Compliance with all drawdown and reporting deadlines
   4. Systemic monitoring of program outcomes
3. Evidence of Internal Capacity (up to 3 points)
   1. LEAs existing Title I programs follow all requirements
   2. LEAs include a plan for monitoring Title I programs in their applications, to ensure improved outcomes for students
