SIA_Home Page Intro
The School Improvement & Accountability (SIA) Office provides allocation of State and Federal funds to school sites, monitors expenditures, assists in the development and evaluation of school plans and programs, and coordinates program quality and compliance reviews.
Types of Funding
LCAP
The LCAP is a three-year plan that describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support positive student outcomes that address state and local priorities. The LCAP provides an opportunity for local educational agencies (LEAs) to share their stories of how, what, and why programs and services are selected to meet their local needs.
Title I
Title I is a federal program that provides supplemental funds to ensure that children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. The intent of Title I funding is to meet the educational needs of low-achieving students enrolled in the highest poverty schools and to close the achievement gap between high - and low-performing children. Title I funding is based on the percentage of students who qualify for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
Title II
The purpose of Title II is to increase the academic achievement of all students by helping schools and districts: (1) improve teacher and principal quality through professional development and other activities, and (2) provide low-income and minority students greater access to effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders.
Title III
The purpose of this program is to provide funds for helping English Learner (EL) students attain English proficiency and meet the same challenging state academic standards as all children are expected to meet. Funds must be used for increasing the English proficiency of EL children by providing high-quality language instruction and high-quality professional development for their teachers and other school staff.
Title IV
The purpose of Title IV is to provide students with a well-rounded education, including programs such as college and career counseling, STEM, arts, civics, and International Baccalaureate/Advanced Placement. These funds are also used to support safe and healthy students with comprehensive school mental health, drug and violence prevention, training on trauma-informed practices, and health and physical education. Finally, these funds support the effective use of technology that is backed by professional development, blended learning, and ed tech devices.
