SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
December 9, 2008
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell has announced that 11 local school districts and a charter school will receive grants to pay expert teachers who work in low-scoring schools.
The teachers get the expert designation from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards as a result of intensive study and peer review. The board's incentive program awards $5,000 a year for four years to expert teachers who agree to work as peer coaches or in other leadership positions in schools with low test scores.
Recipients of the grants announced last week include: Chula Vista Elementary School District, $35,000; Darnall E-Charter School, $5,000; Escondido Union School District, $5,000; Fallbrook Union High School District, $5,000; Grossmont Union High School District, $15,000;
La Mesa-Spring Valley School District, $5,000; Lemon Grove School District, $10,000; Oceanside Unified School District, $45,000; San Diego Unified School District, $145,000; San Ysidro School District, $10,000; Sweetwater Union High School District, $45,000; and Vista Unified School District, $20,000. –C.M.
