PURPOSE: The purpose of this grant program is the development of Collaborative Partnerships for Student Success (CPSS) to supplement existing district resources. Each community's CPSS is created and implemented by the school(s)/district(s) and community partners with student/family involvement. Elements of a CPSS include:
serving as a part of a comprehensive intervention process to help students meet or exceed the Competency Determination standards on their initial try in the spring of their 10th grade year;
increasing student (and family) awareness on the relationship of their high school experience to future opportunities through the development of preliminary career/college plans (and other means);
increasing school district and community partners' ability to provide school year and summer academic support in English language arts (ELA) and/or mathematics for students in the Classes of 2010, 2011, and 2012 who scored in the warning or needs improvement categories (levels 1 or 2) on their most recent English language arts and/or mathematics MCAS tests; and
developing a CPSS product to increase college and career readiness, which may or may not include enhancement of a previous year's Collaborative Success Plan (CSP).

| RESULT OF FUNDING: This funding will enable districts and their partners to provide small group instruction that addresses identified gaps in students' acquisition of knowledge and skills, in English language arts and/or mathematics, in order to help students pass their 10th grade MCAS tests. These grants will help prepare students in the Class of 2012 for the transition from middle to high school, as well as support students in the Classes of 2010 and 2011 during their early years of high school. Programs will offer engaging and creative activities and strategies that help students to succeed throughout high school and become ready for higher education and careers. These programs will serve approximately 485 students. Planning and preparation for the summer component of this grant (Fund Code: 592) will be supported with these funds. Grant awards range from $3,000 to $36,747. |
