  It will be necessary for local school divisions to submit
  either a consolidated or an individual application for
  funding under SDFSCA. If the school division elects to
  submit an individual application, the original and one copy
  must be submitted to the Department of Education on or
  before August 30, 1996.
                                                           
  Applications will undergo a peer review and approval
  process.  Notification about the review process will be
  provided to the SDFSCA school division contact persons at a
  later date.
                                                           
  The 1995-96 Progress Report will be distributed at a later
  date. Report development and distribution to school
  divisions have been delayed because the nature and extent of
  required information to be reported to the U. S. Department
  of Education have not been determined.
