The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 requires that State Education Agencies allocate funds to local education agencies to support identified schools in need of improvement to meet the progress goals in their school improvement, corrective action and/or restructuring plans and thereby improve student performance.
LEAs that have Title I schools in need of improvement identified for 2007-2008 (status as of 9/1/08) will receive an allocation of $50,000 per school based upon the number of schools in each category as follows:
LEAs must submit the enclosed application in order to receive funds. The funds must be allocated to schools in need of improvement within an LEA. However, an LEA may choose to direct its allocation only to some of its SINI, CA and or Restructured schools based on need. LEAs must state the reason(s) for reducing or eliminating any application to a school in their application.
Schools must target funds toward the area(s) of identification and toward the particular subgroup(s) identified for improvement in the school year 2007-08. The funds must support the goals for school improvement outlined in the school's Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP) or Restructuring Plan which was due to the LEA three months after identification.
The use of funds must also correlate to the accountability status of the school. For example, if a school is in Corrective Action Year 2 - Planning for Restructuring, funds must be used for restructuring. If a school is a Restructured School - Year 1, funds must be used to support the implementation of the Restructuring Plan. For Year 2, 3 and 4, funds must continue to support the implementation of the Restructuring Plan.
Uses of funds include professional development, before and/or after school programs and instructional materials for students and teachers.
Funds may not be used for indirect costs.
Grants may operate from January 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009. Next year’s grant will begin September 1, 2009 and end August 31, 2010.
