Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration (CSRD)

 

The Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration (CSRD) program provides funding to states and schools in order to help them adopt successful comprehensive school reform models. States are eligible to receive funds based on their Title I formula to conduct a competition among local schools or districts. States may award a minimum of $50,000 per school as an incentive to implement a research-based, comprehensive school reform model. In applying for funds, schools may choose from among 17 models identified in the legislation or adopt another comprehensive school reform model. Applicants may also propose their own home-grown or another CSRD model. Regardless of the model chosen, applicants must demonstrate that the school reform program integrates all nine of the components outlined in the Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration (CSRD) program Guidance. SEDL's work supports the CSRD program across the nation and in SEDL's five-state service region - Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Eastman School of Music William Warfield Partnership

 

Though the Eastman School of Music and the Rochester City School District have always had important links to each other, a more formal partnership was begun in 1996 as a component of the Eastman Initiatives. In 2000, this partnership was named for William Warfield, the world-renowned bass-baritone, who is a graduate of both the Rochester City School District and the Eastman School of Music. The intent of the Warfield Partnership is to provide expanded musical education and opportunity for city youth and to work together to provide a model urban music education program.
