The Dept. of Education has now posted a list of all schools that are applying for School Improvement Grant  money. These include 113 of the 188 schools identified as the persistently lowest performing schools in the state, which must commit to substantial reforms for the money, and 51 other schools seeking federal money for school improvements.

Among districts applying for up to $6 million per school are Los Angeles Unified, with 13 schools,   San Bernadino Unified with 11 schools, and San Francisco Unified, with nine. Nine charter schools also are seeking grants. The State Board of Education will decide on Aug. 2 which schools get how much money.
