Thank you for your recent renewal application for a 1003(g) School Improvement Grant under the ESEA Congratulations Chamberlain Elementary Schools renewal application was accepted and SIG funds will continue for SY 201 7-2018
In accordance with your application and available funding you are being awarded $271 88500 for the 2017-2018 school year
School Im rovement Grants S377A00120015
Like other Title I monies the Title I sect 1003(g) School Improvement Grant award must be used to supplement the level of funds that in the absence of the Title I monies would be made available from non-federal sources for the education of the students at this school Improvement funds must be tracked separately from all other Title I Grants Local fiscal agents are to place improvement funds in a Title I account assigned for school improvement (this funding number must not be the same number as is used for the Title I Basic grant award) Because these are school improvement funds districts may not combine funds into one account and the amount awarded each school must be spent on improvement initiatives at that particular school
We look forward to continuing our work with your team this school year Please feel free to contact your IDOE SIG team representative or 1003gdoeingovif you have any questions
Sincerely

From Kimberly Branham and Mary Kay Longacre
RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 2
Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham

From Kimberly Branham and Mary Kay Longacre
RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 2
Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham

RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 2
Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham

From Kimberly Branham and Mary Kay Longacre
RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 2
Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham

RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 2
Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham

From Kimberly Branham and Mary Kay Longacre
RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 2
Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham

Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham

RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 2
Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham

RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 2
Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham

RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 1
Greetings
We have been setting up some new internal monitoring systems to help us align
spending within a grant to the grant application As we were putting these systems into
place we were delayed in asking for reimbursement A reimbursement of $19990988
has been submitted for the March 1st reimbursement date We anticipate submitting
reimbursements on a monthly basis moving forward Our ultimate desire is to make
sure that our expenses are matching the grant as it was submitted We look forward to
continuing our partnership with the IDOE and appreciate the opportunity to obtain this
renewal

RE 1003(g) renewal explanation for Item 2
Our sustainability plan for moving forward beyond 2017-18 1003g funding is based on
our school need for a continued network and corporate agreement with EL Education
This funding would be through Goshen Community Schools or potentially through
other funding yet would not be necessary to continue our sustainability plans for
several years to come The principal is working continually and collaboratively with
EL Education on sustainability plans Including long range plans both in the form of a
work plan credentialing plan and financial plan with a scope and sequence for
multiple years
Beyond the 17-18 school year Chamberlain will have the internal capacity to sustain
the EL Education Model for learning and the 3 components of student achievement
based on the structures and professional development in the 1003g grant years Next
year the focus of the Instructional Guide position will be to revise the Leaming
Expeditions and to build the differentiation for the ELL Students this will be gradually
released to other personnel in the coming years Supplies and materials will be obtained
via other sources that the school and district have discussed Additional funding
potential would be from other grants partnerships with local corporations or potential
funding via EL Education Grant Department Further details of this plan can be
articulated by Kimberly Branham
