Dear Dr Johnson-Shirley
Thank you for your recent renewal application for a 1003(g) School Improvement Grant under the ESEA Congratulations Lake Ridge Middle Schools renewal application was accepted and SIG funds will continue for SY 2017-2018
In accordance with your application and available funding you are being awarded $19513500 for the 2017-2018 school year
School Improvement Grant

School Improvement Grants
S377A00140015
Like other Title I monies the Title I sect1003(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 1003gdoeingov if you have any questions
Sincerely
Nathan Williamson Director of Title Programs and Support Indiana Department of Education
