The division may not approve a grant from
the fund to an applicant unless the applicant agrees to adopt the
following program enrollment priorities:

program by the department of child services under IC 31-33 (or

families with the lowest gross monthly income compared to other
children in this priority level must be enrolled first.
(2) Second priority must be given to children in kindergarten and
grades 1 through 3 and the children's siblings if the children's
families need school age child care services because of:
(A) enrollment of a child's legal custodian in vocational training
under a degree program;
(B) employment of a child's legal custodian; or
(C) physical or mental incapacitation of a child's legal
custodian.
(3) Third priority must be given to children in grades 4 through 9
if the children's families need school age child care services
because of:
(A) enrollment of a child's legal custodian in vocational training
under a degree program;
(B) employment of a child's legal custodian; or
(C) physical or mental incapacitation of a child's legal
custodian.
