Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: Networks for School Improvement (Late 2018)
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is funding intermediary organizations to form Networks for School Improvement (NSIs). An NSI is a network of secondary schools working in partnership with an intermediary organization to use a continuous improvement process to significantly increase the number of Black, Latino, and low-income students who earn a high school diploma, enroll in a postsecondary institution, and are on track in their first year to earn a credential with labor-market value.
School teams work collaboratively in partnership with a supporting intermediary organization – which could be a school district, non-profit, for-profit, or university – to use methods to identify, test, and refine solutions that target a problem. An NSI’s aim is to improve student outcomes that are predictive of high school graduation and postsecondary success.
Limit: Intermediary organizations may submit no more than two applications
Agency due date: 10/26/18
