Abstract

School Improvement Grants (SIGs) are authorized under section 1003 of Title I of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. Funds are awarded on a competitive basis to school corporations with schools identified for Comprehensive School Improvement (CSI) or Targeted School Improvement (TSI). In the 2021-2022 academic year, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) introduced the Next Gen SIG to provide funds to local education agencies (LEAs) with the strongest commitment to transform students’ traditional educational experience into one that more strategically aligns to students’ academic and personal needs.
