§ 53024 Golden State Pathways Funding Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Schools getting this grant money can't use it to replace other money they already have for the same stuff.
  • •Schools must have their own money or promises from partners to keep the program running after the grant ends.
  • •Schools must make sure the program matches their bigger plans for teaching kids.
  • •Schools must send yearly reports with data on how kids are doing in the program, like grades, jobs, and college prep.

Example

A high school gets a Golden State Pathways grant to start a new computer science program.

The school can't stop using its regular budget for computer classes just because they got the grant. They also need to show they have money to keep the program going after the grant runs out. Plus, they have to report every year on how many kids finish the program, get jobs, or go to college.
