The SCORE Analysis

Based on a template provided by the Tennessee Department of Education to districts, the SCORE analysis categorized planned allocations into four focus areas:

Academics allocations aim to accelerate student achievement
Student Readiness allocations support all students to be successful in K-12 and beyond
Educators allocations focus on recruiting, retaining, and supporting high quality teachers
Foundations investments ensure all students have access to a safe and productive learning environment

District plans centered on using funds both to address immediate pandemic-related health and technology challenges as well as seizing this opportunity to develop innovative and sustainable academic programs that support ongoing improvements in learning and teaching.
