⚠ Watch-outs

Rejected applicants receive one opportunity to reapply; limited feedback and appeal process
Reimbursement may take up to 60 days; cash flow consideration for small providers
Rolling application basis with no set deadline creates ongoing competition and uncertainty about approval timing
Must align with Louisiana's specific science of reading framework and locally adopted high-quality instructional materials; limited flexibility in instructional approach
Requirement to submit detailed lesson plans for each grade level applied (six plans for K-5 literacy, seven plans for 6-12 math) creates significant upfront compliance burden
Family verification requirement before payment could delay reimbursement and create disputes over service delivery
