School Improvement The purpose of the IPG is to carry out the State Educational Agency’s statewide system of technical assistance and support for Entities which have schools identified as schools in need of Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) under the State's federally approved plan for The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This competition provides additional fiscal resources, technical support, and regular school visits to improve student achievement and ultimately to assist these schools with exiting the federal identification and status of CSI. IPG Eligibility The IPG competition was open to any LEA that had at least one (1) Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) School. The grant application was submitted by the LEA on behalf of each CSI School interested in competing (each CSI School had its own application). 105 schools were identified as CSI schools in 2019; therefore 105 schools were eligible to compete for these discretionary funds The LEA had to submit a Letter of Intent for any school for which it planned to submit an application. (74 Intents were received) Applications were only sent to those who met the deadline for submitting Letter of Intent.

Specifically, through that waiver, the U.S. Dept. of Ed. extended the period of availability of NCDPI’s FY 2016 SIG funds through September 30, 2021. NCDPI requested to extend this waiver through September 30, 2022, to provide the time necessary to expend these funds and sufficiently carry out school improvement activities as planned. NCDPI indicated that this waiver extension would allow for continued support for some of the most disadvantaged schools after some planned activities over the past few years were impacted by lengthy shutdown periods and unable to be conducted. It was shared that additional time would allow for the coordination of SIG funds with ESEA funds, federal COVID-19 relief, state, and local funds, in order to facilitate systematic remediation and enrichment activities to further school improvement efforts. After review, NCDPI’s request for waiver was granted pursuant to section 8401(d)(2) of the ESEA. Please note that any FY 2016 SIG funds not spent by September 30, 2022, will revert to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. School Improvement Grants (SIG) Sixty North Carolina schools are receiving federal School Improvement Grant (SIG) funds as authorized under section 1003(g) of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA).

Beginning July 2011, over $50 million in SIG funds were allocated to the second cohort of 17 schools in 13 LEAs with a per school range of $540,000 to $5.5 million through September 30, 2014. In June 2013, an additional $30.7 million in SIG funds were approved for a third cohort of 20 schools in 14 LEAs with a per school range of $762,000 to $2.6 million through September 30, 2016. In October, 2016, an additional $38.1 million in SIG funds were approved for a fourth cohort of 19 schools in 8 LEAs with a per school range of $665,036 to $3.5 million through September 30, 2020. Selected SIG schools were among the persistently lowest performing schools (pdf, 134kb) in the state and were eligible for or receiving Title I funds.
