Summary: Staff requests permission to submit a California Partnership Green Academy Planning grant to the California Department of Education for funding to support the development of two new academies; one at Concord High School and the other at Clayton Valley High School. This grant will support the development of smaller learning community structures and instructional strategies that address core academics, learner engagement, career relevancy and personal skill development. This grant is aligned and supports the district’s Career Integrated Academics policy to assist students to be college and work ready when they graduate from high school. The grant provides funding for personnel to coordinate, develop and implement the program, professional development, consultation and planning for teachers, as well as program supplies and materials. If funded, the grant will provide $29,000 for planning in 2009-10, $42,000 year one, $72,000 year two and $81,000 year three for a total of $224,000 per school. This is a combined total of $448,000 over four years.
Funding: Funding is provided by California Department of Education
Fiscal Impact Grant will generate up to $448,000 over four years. There is no cost to the general fund.
