When it comes to any relocation, selecting a home is half of the battle, the other half, if you have children is researching the local schools.
Well, we are proud to say that Malibu has some excellent schools as well as at a higher education level, a great College (Pepperdine).
Now there is some exciting news for Malibu school as they are competing for some new Federal funding;
The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously to apply for federal funding from the US Department of Education to improve education standards in eligible states.“Race to the Top” is a grant program that will distribute money to each state designed to improve educational performance nationwide.
California will receive anywhere from $350 to $750 million from the pool of $4.35 billion available to states and Malibu’s schools are clamouring for a piece of the pie! Funding will be divided among districts, with 50 percent for Title I schools and the rest going to all other schools. Title I schools contain a high percentage of low-income students. The “Race to the Top” one-time funding will be distributed during a four-year period.
Asides from being exciting, the schools have to go through a rigorous qualification process to show they comply with certain standard – which they already meet, being such high achieving institutions as they are!
