Appellate Division

Subject: Lonoke Economic Development Agency                                            DATE: April 8, 1996

Docket No. A-95-118
Decision No. 1568

DECISION

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) of the Department of Health and Human Services notified the Lonoke Economic Development Agency (EDA) on April 28, 1995 that ACF proposed to deny refunding of EDA's Head Start grant. The basis for ACF's proposed action was the lack of Policy Council approval of EDA's application for refunding. The 1993-94 Policy Council voted on August 30, 1994 and again on October 13, 1994 not to approve the application for refunding for the 1994-95 program year. EDA's grant expired on November 30, 1994, although it continued to receive funding pending a decision by ACF and subsequently pending the issuance of this decision, as provided in 42 U.S.C.  9841(a)(3).
