Summary: Mt. Diablo Unified has recently received verification from the California Department of Education that it has been awarded the SIG Improvement Grant. Under the Sub-grant Conditions and Assurances, all LEAs 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 whose disaggreagated results are included in the state’s definition of Adequate Yearly Progress, incorporate strategies grounded in scientifically based research that will strengthen instruction in core academic areas, provide for high quality professional development for instructional staff that focuses primarily on improved instruction, include strategies to promote effective parent involvement, and include a determination of why the LEA’s previous plan did not bring about increased student achievement.

The California Department of Education recommends that LEAs receive technical support when developing their LEA Plan Addendum. The LEA Plan addendum must be completed and brought to the Board of Education for approval on December 14, 2010.
