The Governor's New Education Programs
The governor is also proposing to allocate $405 million for new programs. These programs include: |
| School Enrichment Block Grant |
$100 million |
(These dollars would be used in Decile 1, 2, and 3 schools to recruit and retain teachers and principals, with a focus on hard-to-staff subjects and low-performing schools. Funds would be allocated on a $50 per pupil basis with a minimum of $5,000 per school site. The block grant can fund items including student loan forgiveness for teachers and principals; targeted improvement in school environments; differential pay for teachers and principals in hard-to-staff subjects or schools; signing bonuses; recognition pay; human resources recruitment training; professional development/leadership training, including AVID; and housing incentives, including relocation costs and mortgage assistance.) |
| Art and Music Block Grants |
$100 million |
(The new grant would support standards aligned for these programs. Schools would receive $20 per pupil with a minimum of $3,000 for school sites with 10 or fewer students and a minimum of $5,000 per site with more than 10 students, including charter schools. These grant dollars can fund items including hiring staff; purchasing materials, books, supplies, and equipment; and underwriting staff development. The grants will be subject to legislation.) |
| Physical Education Block Grants |
$85 million |
(The funds would support physical education programs, with $60 million of the total for a new Physical Education Grant Program supporting standards-aligned P.E. instruction in K-8. At a minimum, grants would provide $3,000 for school sites with 10 or fewer students and $5,000 per sites with 11 to 420 students. Remaining funds will go to sites with more than 420 students at a per pupil amount. Charter schools are included. The remaining $25 million will be for incentive grants to hire more credentialed P.E. teachers in grades K-8. Grants of $25,000 will available to 1,000 schools serving K-8 grades. Both of these programs are subject to legislation.) |
| Digital Classroom Block Grants |
$25 million |
(Digital Classroom Block Grant would provide schools that choose to participate with $3,000 per classroom to support classroom technology such as purchasing hardware, software, and staff development. These proposed appropriations would fund approximately 8,300 classrooms, including those at charter schools. The program will be subject to trailer bill legislation.) |
