Summary : HOPE Online Learning Academy is applying for the CDE Student Re-Engagement Grant. If granted approval through CDE’s internal grant approval review process, the school will engage in the activities as outlined in their application to CDE. This program is designed to provide educational services and supports to students to maintain student engagement and support student re-engagement at the secondary level.

HOPE Online Learning Academy currently has this grant and is applying to continue and expand the services and supports available to their highly impacted student population. They have applied and are awaiting review by CDE to see if they are granted the funds. This is a highly competitive grant with funds available through the 2022-2023 school year. Depending upon continued appropriations by the state, programming could continue into 23-24 and 24-25 school years. Grant scoring will utilize a prioritization process for districts and schools that are considered highly impacted for specific demographics. Submission to CDE was through an abbreviated online application process.
Rationale for Request

For the CDE Student Re-Engagement Grant, Board knowledge of the grant application request by charters is required as part of the submission of the application and acceptance of grant funds by the District as the fiscal agent for the grant. CDE will be scoring, approving, and awarding the grant application and funds. If the grant is awarded CDE has an extensive evaluation process in place for the use of the grant funds and related activities.

Grant Request is for $144,100 for 22-23, $147,200 for 23-24 and $151,400 for 24-25 based on appropriations.
