What should an applicant consider if it wants to include a “persistently lowest-achieving school” in its application?
Some schools identified as “persistently lowest-achieving” will receive School Improvement Grant (SIG) funding and will be required to adopt one of four school intervention models (turnaround, restart, school closure, or transformation). If an applicant proposes to serve a school that it anticipates will receive SIG funds, it should ensure that the project services are consistent with the school intervention model selected. So, for example, if an applicant wishes to include a school it anticipates will receive SIG funding, it should consider the fact that the school will be required to undergo major changes that may impact staffing, administration, and possible closure. Additionally, the school will receive a large amount of funding under SIG – up to $2 million per year for three years. The applicant should carefully consider these factors in its GCRG proposal. It should not propose services that cannot be implemented because they are inconsistent with the SIG reform models. For more i
