Addendum A - List of Participation Schools and Districts
For the 2019-20 school year, the New York State Education Department is providing Target Districts with options in how the Office of Accountability’s Field Support Office supports the District’s non-Receivership CSI schools.
Districts may select from three options that will focus on professional learning both on-site and off-site.  Additional funding is available for districts that select any of the three options identified below:
Enhancing Principal Leadership (two-year program)
High School Redesign (two-year program)
Title I School Improvement Grant 1003 ENHANCED funds will be provided to support these programs.  These funds will be separate from the Title I School Improvement Grant 1003 BASIC funds that districts are currently using to advance their improvement initiatives.
Target Districts that completed a Comprehensive Support and Improvement Support Option Notice of Intent and have at least one school that is currently identified as a CSI and is not in the Receivership program are eligible to submit applications for this addendum.  A full list of eligible districts, along with the maximum amount these districts are eligible to receive, can be found in Addendum A – SIG Enhanced CSI Supports.
NYSED will provide funding to support allowable activities associated with the Enhancing Principal Leadership program, the Instructional Coaching Consortium, and the High School Redesign program as outlined below.
Please note that no additional funding will be provided for schools pursuing the SCEP Support Visit option.
Year 1:  Districts will receive up to $20,000 in 1003 SIG ENHANCED funds per participating school. Subject to collective bargaining agreements, $2,000 dollars of this amount shall be set aside to serve as a stipend provided to principals for their participation at the conclusion of the first year OR a minimum of $2,000 shall be set aside to compensate at district-agreed upon rate for principal participation beyond contract hours.
