The School Innovation Fund programs support whole school redesign in districts that have schools identified as Tier III. The purposes of the School Innovation Fund are to increase high school graduation, college persistence, and college graduation rates by increasing the availability of new high quality seats for students at most risk for dropout, disengagement, and poor academic performance.
2014-2015 Follow-Up Report: Year One after the Grant: As SIF Round 1 participants, we ask you to provide an update on your sustainability efforts.

Best Practices: Two SIF 1 schools completed their January 1, 2012 to August 31, 2014 (extension from June 30, 2014) grant award periods. Both schools selected the Community-Oriented Wrap Around Services model as their whole-school redesign frameworks.
As part of their final reports, they were each asked to describe a promising practice that is currently being implemented and can easily be replicated by another school/district; describe data showing evidence of success of practice including the observable, positive impact the practice has on the school/district; and describe the steps the school/district has in place to sustain this best practice.
NYSED STO did not alter the documents submitted by the schools/districts.
