Caraballo-Browne A letter and application will be sent out by the end of the month. The funding can be carried over into the following year. Program requirements are very flexible. Assurances include a pledge card requirement for persons providing services. Surveys are preprinted with district names.
Schools are to choose a design, then have the designers provide technical assistance.
CDE would like written commitment from the program designer included in the application. In Gov. Davis' budget, he has first and second year's CSRD funding in his accountability item. CSRD would be part of accountability as a school intervention, but it is not a reward or sanction. This program is for low performing schools, ones which are the best candidates for making a difference through the program design. USDE has to approve our state application by June in time for California to receive this first year funding.
