• Low-achieving schools are categorized into three tiers based on available data, and interventions and supports (including funding) can vary according to the tier.
• A low-achieving school can be rapidly improved (within three years) through one of three intervention models: Turnaround, Restart, or Transformation.
• Some schools will not demonstrate a reasonable expectation of adequately responding to one of the three aforementioned intervention models, and their students will benefit from a fourth intervention model– the school’s closure and the students’ placement in higher-achieving schools.

Under Section 1003(g) of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001(NCLB), states may apply to the U. S. Department of Education (USED) for SIG funding on behalf of school divisions with schools meeting the criteria outlined in the grant requirements.
In April 2011, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) received approval of its FY 2010 SIG application.

TIER I: A Title I school in improvement, corrective action, or restructuring that is among the lowest-achieving five percent of Title I schools in improvement, corrective action, or restructuring based on the academic achievement of the “all students” group in reading/language arts and mathematics combined and the school has not reduced its failure rate in reading/language arts and/or mathematics by 10 to 15 percent each year for the past two years
![Page 5: Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 School Improvement Grants (SIG) 1003(g)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56813064550346895d96381e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
TIER II: A secondary school that is eligible for, but does not receive, Title I funds that is among the lowest-achieving five percent of schools based on the academic achievement of the “all students” group in reading/language arts and mathematics combined and the school has not reduced its failure rate in reading/language arts and/or mathematics by 10 to 15 percent each year for the past two years (Tier II); or
TIER II: A high school that has had a graduation rate as defined in 34 CFR 200.19(b) that is less than 60 percent for two years (Tier II).

Schools identified in Tiers I and II MUST implement one of four required USED reform models.
Schools identified in Tier III may implement one of the four required USED reform models or other school improvement strategies.

![Page 11: Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 School Improvement Grants (SIG) 1003(g)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56813064550346895d96381e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Funding will be based, in part, on the number of students in a school. For example, FY 2009 Tier I and Tier II schools received $1.5 million over three years, based on an average of 800 students per school.
For FY 2010, there are 19 Tier I and II eligible
schools; therefore, the funding will be competitive. Tier I and II schools must receive priority. However, Tier III schools are eligible to apply.
![Page 12: Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 School Improvement Grants (SIG) 1003(g)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56813064550346895d96381e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Schools funded in FY 2009 as Tier III schools will continue to receive FY 2009 SIG funds. Unless these schools are currently identified as Tier I for FY 2010, they will be considered the lowest priority.
Schools identified as Tier III for FY 2010 that did not receive FY 2009 SIG funds will receive 1003(a) funds if they do not apply or apply and do not receive FY 2010 SIG funds.

• A restart model is one in which a school division converts a school or closes and reopens a school under a charter school operator, a charter management organization (CMO), or an education management organization (EMO) that has been selected through a rigorous review process.
• Note: the school may “start over” in the School Improvement timeline.
![Page 20: Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 School Improvement Grants (SIG) 1003(g)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56813064550346895d96381e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

activities; and (c) Teachers to collaborate, plan, and engage in
professional development within and across grades and subjects.
![Page 23: Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 School Improvement Grants (SIG) 1003(g)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56813064550346895d96381e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Because the turnaround model relies principally upon an infusion of human capital, along with changes in decision making and operational practice, the following considerations must be taken into account in determining if turnaround is the best fit for a persistently low-achieving school:
How will the LEA select a new leader for the school, and what experience, training, and skills will the new leader be expected to possess?
How will the LEA assign effective teachers and leaders to the lowest achieving schools?
How will the LEA begin to develop a pipeline of effective teachers and leaders to work in turnaround schools?
How will staff replacement be executed—what is the process for determining which staff remains in the school and for selecting replacements?
![Page 31: Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 School Improvement Grants (SIG) 1003(g)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56813064550346895d96381e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
An LEA may: ◦ develop and increase teacher and school leader
effectiveness; ◦ use comprehensive instructional reform strategies; ◦ increase learning time and create community-oriented
schools; or◦ provide operational flexibility and sustained support.
See Guidelines for School Improvement Grant Applications – Appendix B for details.

Question: If Tier I and II schools will receive priority for funding, will any Tier III schools be funded?
Answer: Funds may or may not be available for Tier III schools depending on how many Tier I and Tier II schools receive funding.
![Page 34: Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 School Improvement Grants (SIG) 1003(g)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56813064550346895d96381e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
