Summary:
|
The Low-Performing Student Block Grant (LPSBG) provides funds for local educational agencies (LEAs) serving students identified as low-performing on state English language arts or mathematics assessments, who are not otherwise identified for supplemental grant funding under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), or eligible for special education services. The California Department of Education (CDE) will allocate LPSBG funds during the 2018–19 fiscal year (FY) to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs), which include school districts, county offices of education (COEs), and charter schools that serve pupils identified as low-performing on state English language arts or mathematics assessments, and who are not otherwise identified for supplemental grant funding under the Local Control Funding Formula or eligible for special education services.
As a condition of receiving LPSBG funds, an eligible school district, COE, or charter school is required to:
• Develop a plan describing how the funds will increase or improve evidence-based services for the pupils identified to accelerate increases in academic achievement, and how the effectiveness of services will be measured.
LPSBG funds will be used to provide Professional Development and Collaboration opportunities for our staff members, along with purchases of supplemental instructional materials, and technology (devices and/or software) that will support our low performing students.
Silver Valley USD will analyze student performance data from annual CAASPP testing in Math and ELA, local assessments such as Interim Block and Cumulative Smarter Balanced assessments and curriculum aligned classroom assessments.
Professional development, collaboration and supplemental instructional materials are specifically mentioned in our Student Achievement (Goal 1) in our LCAP. In addition, Response to Intervention and technology supports are included in both Student Achievement (Goal 1) and Technology (Goal 2) sections.
Funds are available for expenditure or encumbrance through the 2020–21 FY.
