The purpose of the Texas High
School Redesign and Restructuring Grant, Cycle 2 is to
provide high school campuses rated Academically Unacceptable
under the Texas accountability rating system with the
resources to build capacity for implementing innovative,
schoolwide initiatives designed to improve student performance
on the campus. Additionally, this grant seeks to create
a demonstration project that will provide case studies
and models for successful practices in turning around
low-performing high schools. The primary goals of this
grant program are to (1) correct the specific area of
unacceptable performance identified in the campus accountability
rating; (2) increase overall student achievement; (3)
raise academic standards and expectations for all students;
(4) demonstrate innovative management and instructional
practices; (5) ensure that every student is taught by
highly qualified, effective teachers; (6) develop leadership
capacity in principals and other school leaders; and (7)
engage parents and the community in school activities.
