Denair Unified School District will be busy over the next month finalizing how to spend two $75,000 College Readiness Block Grants — whether it’s through funding Advanced Placement programs, college prep or interventions — to make sure students are college and career ready at Denair High School and Denair Charter Academy. Awarded through the California Department of Education’s Local Control Funding Formula, the College Readiness Block Grant provides $200 million in funding to California high school pupils, particularly unduplicated pupils, for additional supports to help increase the number who enroll at institutions of higher education and complete an undergraduate degree within four years. Unduplicated pupils are students who are English learners, meet income or categorical eligibility requirements for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program or are foster youth.
