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.
All School Actions include the following components:
- ESF-Aligned
- High-Quality Instructional Materials
- Research Based Instructional Strategies (RBIS)
- Strategic use of instructional staff and time, and
- Empowered School Leader
