Summary: Grant funds are allocated to districts who have schools who are categorized as needing comprehensive or targeted school improvement support, based upon various indicators listed on the school report card (i.e. academic proficiency, academic growth, chronic absenteeism, 9th graders on track, and graduation rate). Grant funds may be used for planning and implementing school improvement activities such as contracting for professional services from State approved learning partners who help schools analyze data, research evidence-based interventions to improve academic growth and proficiency, and monitor school improvement plan progress. Consortium for Educational Change (CEC) is a State and District approved learning partner that our District has partnered with for several years.
Funding: Title I School Improvement 1003(a) and Title II funds
