Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), Title I, Part A 1003 Investment in Schools (IIS) grant is awarded to schools identified for school improvement in the DC STAR Framework as Comprehensive Support 1 (CS1). The purpose of the funding is to support schools that require a comprehensive reform plan to meet students’ educational needs.
IIS funding can be used to implement a school improvement plan that has specific goals and has been developed in response to a needs assessment and with input from the school community. The IIS school improvement plan and funding should complement and support other grant programs the school implements, particularly Title I-A.
The IIS Grant is authorized by ESEA, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015 ([ ]). In fiscal year 2022 (FY22) OSSE awarded approximately $3.3 million in IIS funding to CS1 schools in the District of Columbia.
