School Improvement Plans | LCS | Lynchburg City Schools

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is required to identify schools in need of Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI), or Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI). In each case, identification must be informed by the state’s ESSA accountability indicators and the system of annual meaningful differentiation. Additionally, schools with a graduating class that does not meet the federal graduation indicator (FGI) will be identified as CSI-FGI.

The 2025-2026 Virginia School Improvement Grant provides continued support to federally identified schools. These funds are intended to support the implementation of the school’s multi-year school support plan (MSSP) and provide assistance to ensure the implementation of appropriate supports and interventions to address federal identification. Specific school improvement grant funding considerations are based on the school’s federal identification classification and the needs articulated in the submission of a completed school improvement grant application.
