Baltimore City Public School System/National Academic League

For support of the 2005-2006 National Academic League in 30 Baltimore City public middle schools. The league provides extracurricular interscholastic programming in an atmosphere of competition traditionally associated with athletic events.

Baltimore City Public School System/The Midtown Academy

Baltimore City Public School System (BCPSS)/Early Identification and Intervention Project

Three-year funding for planning and implementation of the BCPSS Early Identification and Intervention Project at Barclay Elementary/Middle School and Edgewood Elementary School. Thirty low-performing students who are in need of a core language/literacy development program will be identified. State-of-the-art practices will be integrated into an intervention program. The success of these efforts will be measured by the percentage of students who achieve grade-level performance at the end of the first grade, and the reduction in the number of students requiring special education for reading-related disabilities.

Baltimore City Public School System/Baltimore Freedom Academy

For costs of the installation of doors to create a physical separation of space between the Baltimore Freedom Academy and Lombard Middle School. The doors will help ensure the safety of students and decrease disruption between the schools.
