Baseline Analyses of SIG Applications and SIG-Eligible and SIG-Awarded Schools

Ω

The Study of School Turnaround (SST) is an examination of the implementation of School Improvement Grants (SIG) authorized under Title I section 1003(g) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and supplemented by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

“Baseline Analyses of SIG Applications and SIG-Eligible and SIG-Awarded Schools” uses publicly-available data from State Education Agency (SEA) Web sites, SEA SIG applications, and the National Center for Education Statistics’ Common Core of Data to examine the following: (1) the SIG-related policies and practices that states intend to implement, and (2) the characteristics of SIG-eligible and SIG-awarded schools. This first report provides context on SIG.
