This June has been filled with end of year activities, celebrations, and graduations, wrapping up the 2023-24 school year! Our team hopes that as you head into the summer that you have time to reflect on the year, the successes, the challenges, and all the work in between. We know many of you will be taking some much needed time off during the month of July and we hope that you enjoy the time with family and friends.
In this month’s message, you’ll find information about:
- 2024-2025 Estimated Allocations
- Early Literacy Grant Annual Report
- Integrated Programs Annual Report
- High School Success Rubric Toolkit
2024-2025 Estimated Allocations
EII is excited to share 2024-2025 estimated allocations for the SIA, HSS, EIIS, ELSSDG programs to support this year’s Integrated Application implementation. You will find additional details below.
These estimated allocations are different from the April 2024 allocations as these updated numbers are based on the results of May ADM reconciliation. While we don’t anticipate significant changes in these numbers, please note they are still technically estimates that can change. Once the Department of Justice approves Grant Amendments, they will be sent out and reflect final allocation amounts.
Also, please note that we don’t expect grant recipients to submit any budget updates at this time based on these updates. Any changes can and will be accounted for during the 2024-25 Quarter 1 report due October 31, 2024.
Estimated Allocations:

Student Investment Account
-
High School Success
-
Early Indicator & Intervention Systems

Early Literacy Grant Annual Report
Earlier this month, we sent out a Reminder: Early Literacy Grant Reporting Requirements message sharing with grantees the upcoming annual reporting requirements to support planning for reporting for the first year of the grant. The Early Literacy Annual Report for 2023-24 is due November 30, 2024 and will be a separate link for reporting. This report does not need to be presented to your governing board. Additional information and links to your Annual Report will be provided by September 1, 2024 on your RAD. Stay tuned to sign up for Office Hours starting in September!
Please review Reminder: Early Literacy Grant Reporting Requirements for more information.

Introducing the High School Success Rubric Toolkit!
We are excited to share the High School Success (HSS) Rubric Toolkit, designed to support grantees in meeting the eligibility requirements of the HSS Rubric 2.0. This toolkit offers a variety of optional resources that grantees can use, modify, or use as a starting point to suit their needs. We will update the toolkit periodically to ensure it remains a valuable resource.

Federal School Improvement (formerly ESSA Partnerships)
In order to better understand the improvement efforts being undertaken at schools identified for Federal School Improvement we have two needs that are currently underway for schools and districts. The first, announced earlier this year, is the submission of the School-level Plan. Plan submissions are available on the district’s RAD. Guidance and templates for school-level plans can be found on the ODE website, under the “Program Resources” section (lower right hand column). This submission is due by September 30, 2024. Please note that districts receiving FSI funds will receive access to those funds once all required School-level Plan(s) have been approved by ODE.
The second need is the annual Progress Update for CSI/TSI Schools. These updates provide insight into the improvement efforts during the 2023-24 school year for currently identified CSI and TSI schools identified or re-identified prior to October 2023. Schools first identified in the fall of 2023 do not complete this Progress Update. This submission window was originally set to close on August 15, 2024. This window will be extended to September 15, 2024.

Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce Study
The Great Misalignment: Addressing the Mismatch between the Supply of Certificates and Associate’s Degrees and the Future Demand for Workers in 565 US Labor Markets
From the study: Hundreds of local labor markets fuel the American economy, and each one is driven by the needs of the local area’s mix of industries and the skills of its workers. When these needs and skills align, everyone can benefit. But many local economies are struggling to achieve strong alignment between the demand for middle-skills credentials (certificates and associate’s degrees) and the supply of these credentials produced by local institutions. This study demonstrates that in half of the nation’s labor markets, at least 50 percent of all middle-skills credentials would need to be granted in different fields of study to meet projected labor demand through 2031.
