Within the next couple of weeks, districts that have been previously identified as being a School in Need of Assistance will be receiving notification of allocated Section 1003/Title 1 SINA funds. Once these determinations have been made, a Section 1003/SINA tab will appear on your Title 1 Application page. You will need to complete this section as it aligns to your 2015-2016 SINA plan to be approved. All funds must be used by June 30th. These allocations can not be carried over.
Guidance
For the 2017-2018 school year, the Department will continue to use the list of schools that would have been on the SINA list generated from the 2015-2016 Iowa Assessment data had the SINA designation continued. The sole purpose of this list is to determine the distribution of funds from ESSA Sec. 1003 (formerly SINA).
Schools that would have been designated as SINA will receive these funds, but no list will be published.Per U.S. Department of Education guidance, the Department has chosen not to collect new plans from districts or schools formerly designated as SINA or DINA. Schools that receive funds under ESSA Sec. 1003 will be required to submit a budget and a brief description in their Title I application of how the school improvement funds will be used to improve reading and math achievement.
NOTE: The above guidance went to districts via email from Amy Williamson on 9/7/17
