File Attachment:
Summary: The School Action Fund grant program seeks to support districts in the planning of a school action to transform low-performing schools and expand access to world-class learning environments for students.

School Actions are a comprehensive and bold approach that will be taken by CISD to increase the number of students in top-rated schools and reduce the number of students in low-rated schools.

TEA will provide grant funds and technical assistance to support school actions for individual campuses. TEA also supports school districts in adopting a broader continuous improvement strategy that annually evaluates school quality, parent demand, and neighborhood needs to take strategic actions that both improve schools and provide parents with the schools and programs they desire. The grant includes support for matched technical assistance from the TEA.

Our goal is to increase the number of students in highly rated schools through supported planning and implementation of a school action.

The School Action Grants is inclusive of the following components: 1) Effective Schools Framework-aligned school model; 2) high-quality instructional materials and plans to deliver that curriculum remotely if needed; 3) student diagnostic assessment; 4) high-dosage tutoring; and 5) extended day or year.
Budgetary Impact: Crowley ISD will receive $250,000 in grant funds.
