School Action Fund
The Texas Education Agency is committed to relentlessly increasing the number of students in great schools. To this end, the School Action Fund (SAF) aims to increase the number of students in great schools by providing customized planning and implementation support to districts committed to bold action to transform low-performing schools and expand access to world-class learning environments for students. The School Action Fund currently supports the following bold school actions:
- Restart a struggling school
- Create a new school
- Reassign students to a higher-performing school
- Redesign a whole school
Currently, SAF supports school districts in all of the state's twenty educational service regions in planning, implementation, and continuation of transformative, bold school actions.
