Funding and Cost

FUNDING

Historically, most School Smarts academies have been funded through Local Control Funding Formula/ Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP Priority 3) and Title I (Part A) funds. Districts may also leverage School Site Council and PTA funds.

Contact us today at programsupport@capta.org to discuss ways your community could fund the School Smarts program.
