School Improvement, 1003(a) and 1003(g) 

 

Under Section 1003 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended, Local Education Agencies (LEAs) with schools identified for school improvement, corrective action and restructuring under Section 1116 of Title I, Part A may be awarded supplemental funds to support efforts and initiatives aimed at raising student academic achievement. 

 

There are two sources of School Improvement Funds:

 

Section 1003(a) funds come from the four percent state-level set-aside that the State Education Agency (SEA) reserves from its total Title I, Part A allocation from the US Department of Education. 

 

Section 1003(g) funds come from a separate grant award from the US Department of Education. LEAs receiving School Improvement allocations must ensure that their schools in improvement are using such funds to meet the goals in their school improvement plans developed under Section 1116.
