Program Description:	The purpose of the Comprehensive School Reform-Texas High School Initiative program is to foster coherent school wide improvements that cover all aspects of a school's operations through sustained professional development, and enhanced involvement of parents, based on a careful assessment of campus needs. The reform program should support integrated strategies that enable all children in a campus, including low-achieving children, children from low income families, children with limited English proficiency, and children with disabilities, to meet challenging academic standards. Comprehensive School Reform-Texas High School Initiative funds are not intended to support separate projects that are added on to existing programs or projects within a school resulting in a piecemeal, fragmented approach to reform. The CSR grant encourages schools to examine successful, externally developed models for inclusion in their comprehensive school reform efforts that have well-researched and well-documented designs for school wide change and that have been replicated with proven results.
Grant Period:	January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2005.
