Project Purpose
Section 1003 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires that State Education Agencies allocate funds to LEAs for Target Districts and schools identified for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI), and Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) to support the development and implementation of their individual district and school continuous improvement plans.
The 2024 Title I School Improvement Grant (SIG) 1003 Supplemental Support (or “SIG Supplemental”) funds are provided to support the extension of the concepts and coaching provided to participants in NYSED’s Supplemental Support programs in preparation for the start of the 2024-25 school year.
Eligibility
Target Districts with at least one school identified in the CSI, ATSI, or TSI support model that participated in the Department’s Specialized Coaching, Enhanced Principal Leadership, Assistant Principal Mentoring, and/or Coaching for Excellence program in 2023-24 are eligible to submit an application for 2024 SIG Supplemental Support funding. A full list of schools that meet these criteria can be found in Attachment A.
Funding
The Department will provide eligible districts with $20,000 in funding per school to support two allowable activities to extend the school’s participation in the Supplemental Support program.
- CATEGORY 1: Professional learning identified by the school participant.
- CATEGORY 2: Initiative development identified by the school participant.
Allowable Use of Funds
The funds must be used for activities associated with advancing the concepts and coaching provided during the school’s participation in a Supplemental Support program.
Each eligible school will work with their District to complete a School Spending Plan as part of a single LEA application.
As part of the application review, NYSED will be looking for alignment between the supplemental activities, Spending Plans, and the FS-10 budget costs.
Please refer to Attachment B for examples of potential SIG Supplemental Support Expenses.
The funds must be used appropriately and comply with federal guidelines relevant to these funds.
