Sent by the district today:
Good Morning,
We have some important news to share with you today about Natomas High School. We have just been notified by the California Department of Education that Natomas High is eligible to receive a three-year grant of up to $2 million a year as part of a new federal program to help under-performing schools.
Natomas High is one of 200 schools in California that has been named a “persistently lowest-achieving school” based on recent student achievement tests.
While some may see this as a negative reflection on our hard-working staff, administrators and students at Natomas High, this truly is an opportunity to forever change for the better our Natomas High.
In the midst of our state and district fiscal crisis, we have been given a “gift” in a way of potentially millions of dollars in new funds to change course for Natomas High.
More details on this grant will be available in the coming weeks along with the next steps we will be taking with the Natomas High community to draft the grant application. The grants range from $50,000 to $2 million, and we can tell you now that we want to “think big” and ask for the maximum grant.
