The School Action Fund (SAF) is a grant available through Learning Acceleration Support Opportunities (LASO) that supports LEAs to create more high-quality, best fit schools. We’d like to share two updates.

Program Updates: See what's new!

Joint SAF and Additional Days School Year (ADSY) funding opportunity:

• The SAF and ADSY teams are collaborating to bring an exciting new opportunity to amplify the power of both school actions and additional school days.
• ADSY Full Year will now be a part of the School Action Fund starting in LASO 2.0.
• SAF-eligible campuses are invited to apply, and priority will be given to campuses that also want to implement an ADSY Summer program in the summer of 2024.
• ADSY Summer will continue to be a separate grant.

Next steps:

• Stay tuned for more information about LASO 2.0, including SAF and ADSY webinars, Q&A sessions, and eligibility information.

Join the Innovation Cohort:

• TEA is launching the Innovation Cohort through the Center for School Actions.
• At the end of the series, district leaders will be equipped to make informed decisions about LASO and other grant opportunities to better serve communities and families with the schools that they want, need, and deserve.
• General criteria for the Innovation Cohort invitation are districts that have Title I, Targeted, and/or Comprehensive campuses.
