Superintendent SIG Message

As you all know by now, SUSD ‘s School Improvement Grant (SIG) application has been recommended for funding, to the tune of more than 34 million dollars!  If approved by the State Board of Education this month, all seven of SUSD’s SIG-eligible schools will receive $1.5 million or more per year for three years, which they will use to implement one of the school improvement models recommended by the U.S. Department of Education—Turnaround model at Taylor Elementary; Transformation model at Fremont, Harrison, Henry, and Roosevelt; and Restart at Nightingale and Pittman. 
Receipt of SIG funding represents an unprecedented opportunity for Stockton Unified to meet the needs of the students at some of our lowest performing schools!  We are both excited and energized by the knowledge that we will have the resources to turn these schools around.
I wish to express thanks to all of you who made this achievement possible!  We could not have submitted the high quality proposal we did without assistance from each of you, your leadership teams, and many of your staff members.  We appreciate all your efforts!
A special thank you goes to the Stockton Teachers Association and United Stockton Administrators for their strong support of our proposal and to WestEd and Action Learning Systems for their assistance with our SIG proposals and continued support of our ongoing efforts to improve student achievement.
I have attached is a copy of SUSD’s final SIG proposal for your review. 

Sincerely,
Carl Toliver
