School Improvement Grants

-$45.0 Million committed in FY2018–FY2022

Agency: Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, Education, Department of
Assistance: Formula Grants
CFDA number: 84.377
What it does: To support competitive subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs) that demonstrate the greatest need for the funds and the strongest commitment to use the funds to provide adequate resources to raise substantially the achievement of students in their lowest-performing schools. In general, State educational agencies (SEAs) must give priority for subgrants to LEAs with Title I-eligible schools ranked in the bottom five percent of such schools, based on student achievement and lack of progress in improving student achievement, as well as secondary schools with a graduation rate below 60 percent over a number of years. LEAs seeking funding to serve such schools must implement one of several school intervention models.
Who benefits: To be eligible to receive Title I School Improvement Grant funds, an LEA must have one or more schools identified for school improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under Section 1116(b) of Title I of the ESEA.
Who applies: SEAs with approved State plan amendments are eligible to receive funds.
Authorized by: Authorization of this program was eliminated by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015

Committed through this program: Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
How it's paid: Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
Some recipients aren't itemized: For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
Awards, counted once: An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
The colored bars: Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
