State Schools Chief Jack O'Connell Announces Intervention
Funds Available for Districts in Program Improvement
Urges districts to meet deadline or funds may be returned to federal government
SACRAMENTO — State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell today announced 92 local educational agencies will receive nearly $80.9 million in Title I Program Improvement Corrective Action grants following the enactment of the state budget. The list of grantees is attached.
"Now that the long state budget stalemate has passed, we can focus our efforts on ensuring districts receive this funding for intervention services," said O'Connell. "Because of the budget delay, about $20 million is still at risk of reversion to the federal government. I have instructed staff at the California Department of Education to do everything possible to assist local educational agencies to properly account for expenditures made for intervention services, for which this federal money was intended."
O'Connell recommended corrective actions to the State Board of Education in March for local educational agencies (school districts and county offices of education) that were identified as being in the third year of Program Improvement under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The corrective action included instituting and fully implementing curriculum based on state academic content standards and achievement standards. In addition, O'Connell recommended differentiated technical assistance. Certain local educational agencies will work with District Assistance and Intervention Teams to analyze data, make recommendations to improve student achievement, and provide the grantee with technical assistance to fully implement the corrective action and any recommendations made by their District Assistance and Intervention Team.
Originally, 97 local educational agencies were recommended for corrective action. However, two school districts merged into one and the funding formula approved by the state Legislature in the education budget trailer bill allocated the funding based on the number of schools a local educational agency had in Program Improvement. Four districts identified for corrective action did not have any schools in Program Improvement and, therefore, were not eligible to receive this funding.
Funding for grantees was allocated based on enactment of the 2008 education trailer bill, Assembly Bill 519 that amended California Education Code Section 52055.57. Because the state budget was enacted 85 days late, O'Connell sent letters to the grantees' district superintendents with added urgency last week to advise them to file the appropriate paperwork by November 15, or this one-time funding may have to be returned to the federal government.
