2. Originally created in 2003-2004, this fund was created to assist the teachers and administrators of those religious and independent schools which administer the state English Language Arts (ELA) and Math exams and have students scoring at levels one and two.

The grant provides reimbursement funds for professional development of education personnel, or the purchase of instructional materials (such as new ELA and Math programs, curricula and books) designed to assist these lower scoring students, in the hopes of raising the bar of student performance on the State assessments.

(Secondary to the COVID pandemic, some flexibility was permitted for Grant Y6 and Y7 assessment reporting. See the AIS Guidance document for details.) The annual AIS allocation is calculated based on the statewide total number of religious and independent school students who did not meet level 3 or 4 on 3-8 State assessments in ELA and mathematics in the prior school year.

Once the number of students is established on a state level, a per pupil rate is calculated as well as the total amount of funds available to an individual school. Per-Pupil Rate is then multiplied by the school's reported number of students who did not meet level 3 or 4 on the grade 3-8 State Assessments in ELA and Math in the 2022-2023 school year.
