Where is the TAP funding in the budget?
TAP is included in the Human Capital budget amounts on pages 322, 324, 358 of the FY11 Proposed Budget. The U.S. Department of Education’s Teacher Incentive Fund awarded a total of $27.5 million to CPS in FY2006 for the Chicago TAP program. This is a five-year grant with an end date of September 30, 2011. CPS is collaborating with several partners, including the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), the Chicago Principals and Administrators Association (CPAA), and The Chicago Public Education Fund (The Fund) to implement the program, which aims to improve student achievement by attracting and retaining quality teachers in 36 of the district’s highest-need schools. The Chicago TAP program provides classroom observations, job-embedded professional development, and school-based career opportunities to teachers and principals. The first year of the grant in FY2007 was a planning year, so there were no school expenditures for that year. From FY2008 through FY2011, there were 10 schools per year tha
