CSR in the Mid-Atlantic Region

Federal funding for comprehensive school reform is allocated to individual states, who then award it to districts and schools through a competitive grant process.  Each state designs its own grant applications, schedule for competition, and application review process. In addition, some states require certain schools to implement a comprehensive school reform design, paying for it through state funds rather than through the competitive grant process.

Detailed information about the national Comprehensive School Reform program can be found at the Department of Education web site.
