School LAND Trust Plan
A component of the School Improvement Plan (SIP) is the School LAND Trust Plan. This plan must be focused on the academic goal(s) identified in the SIP and must follow the same steps outlined in the preparation of the SIP action plan. Schools receive funding for this program from an annual distribution from the permanent State School Fund. The revenues generated from school trust lands are deposited into the fund and the entire fund is invested by the State Treasurer. The interest and dividends generated from the fund become the annual distribution to schools. Funds from this source may only be used to implement School LAND Trust Plans that are approved annually by local school boards.
