Turning around chronically low-performing schools has become an urgent priority. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provided an additional $3 billion to fund aggressive school improvement efforts through the Title I School Improvement Grant (SIG) program. Under the SIG program, grantee schools must implement turnaround efforts that align with one of four interventions: (1) a turnaround model, (2) a restart model, (3) school closure, or (4) a transformation model. While there has been a large investment in this effort, a lack of research evidence on these interventions underscores the need to evaluate both the implementation and the results of SIG.
