SCUSD ‘Priority School’ Receives $1.5 Million Grant
Oak Ridge Elementary will use funds to expand the instructional day by 45 minutes
February 17, 2012 (Â鶹ÊÓƵ): Oak Ridge Elementary School has been awarded a three-year School Improvement Grant (SIG) from the California Department of Education, with year one funding (2012-13) of $1.5 million.
The grant will allow Oak Ridge to expand the school day by 45 minutes, increasing time spent in core academics, student enrichment and teacher planning and collaboration.
Oak Ridge was eligible to apply for SIG funding because in 2009-10 it was ranked among the lowest 5 percent of schools in the state in terms of academic performance.
