The purpose of this grant is to assist districts in developing a comprehensive educator quality plan. This plan will enable districts to coordinate resources and deliver the high quality services needed to recruit, support, and retain teachers and administrators in identified areas of need.
All school districts are eligible to apply.
Priority will also be given to districts that have a greater percentage of economically disadvantaged students than the statewide average. Funds may be used for costs related to planning and implementation such as substitutes, consultants, conferences, travel, memberships, and supplies. Funds may not be used for the purchase of food or computer hardware. Certain program activities must be made available for the equitable participation of staff of PreK-12 private schools located within the geographic area served by the grant. Districts should not restrict proposals to only these programs and are encouraged to propose innovative approaches to address district needs.
