School Action Fund
School Actions are whole-school strategies districts use to increase access to high-quality schools, meet community needs, and address chronic underperformance. The School Action Fund (SAF) grant provides technical assistance, resources, and grant funds to support the planning and implementation of school actions for, and at, individual campuses to improve schools and provide parents and families with the schools and programs they want, need, and deserve. The School Action Fund supports these bold school actions:
- Restart a struggling school
- Create a new school
- Reassign students to a higher-performing school
- Redesign a whole school
For more information on transformative School Actions and School Model Playbooks, please visit the Center for School Actions website.
All school actions focus on the following key elements:
- Alignment to the Effective Schools Framework (EFS)
- Empowered School Leaders
- Implementation of High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM)
- Use of Research Based Instructional Strategies (RBIS)
- Strategic use of time
