Summary: Mt. Diablo Unified School District has been awarded School Improvement Grant (SIG) funds from the US Department of Education for Bel Air Elementary, Rio Vista Elementary, Shore Acres Elementary, and Glenbrook Middle School. MDUSD is also planning on applying for grant funds for Meadow Homes Elementary and Oak Grove Middle School. Under the Sub-grant Conditions and Assurances, all districts that receive funding must ensure that the identified strategies and related activities referenced within the SIG application are incorporated into a revised LEA Plan Addendum and into the Single Plans for Student Achievement. Specifically, the addendum must address fundamental teacher and learning needs of schools in the LEA, define specific measurable achievement goals and targets for each of the student subgroups who struggle to meet Adequate Yearly Progress targets, incorporate strategies grounded in scientifically based research that will strengthen instruction in core academic areas, provide for high qualify professional development for instructional staff that focuses primarily on improved instruction, and include strategies to promote effective parent involvement.

Working collaboratively with the Tricounty Consortium Group, MDUSD staff met with Board members, district office administrators, site administrators, teachers, and parents to complete a set of comprehensive needs assessments, including Academic Program Surveys, the Least Restrictive Environment Survey, the English Learner Self Assessment Survey, the Inventory of Services and Supports, and the District Assessment Survey. Input was also collected from the District English Language Advisory Committee and the Parent Advisory Committee. The draft provided by the consultants was reviewed by the School Achievement and School Support Division and by site principals.

The LEA Addendum is considered by the California Department of Education to be a fluid document which can be revised in response to student achievement data, district allocation fluctuations, staffing changes, and/or Board directives. This document is being presented as an informational item at this time.
