How might schools find funding to pay for DLC membership and/or online courses?
Schools have used a number of strategies to pay for DLC resources and courses, including the following: • Promoting Academic Success (PAS) state funding to assist students in passing the WASL • Learning Assistance Program (LAP) monies provided for high school remediation • I-728 student achievement funds • District or building general funds • Grants, like Migrant, GEAR UP, Title I, Special Education, Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT), and Career and Technical Education • Pooling funds from existing budgets, including library budgets, counseling budgets, and technology budgets • Capturing FTEs that might have been lost to dropouts or Running Start by keeping those students in school via DLC online courses
