The Cleveland Municipal School District's (CMSD) proposal was developed to use the successes of the Urban Systemic Initiative (USI) and the lessons learned from the implementation of the Language Arts and English standards to improve education in science and mathematics. Hence, building on those efforts, the intent is to bring systemic change to science and mathematics at the district level at an accelerated pace by: (1) using high-quality inquiry-driven and technology-rich curriculum, instruction, and assessment materials aligned with local mathematics, science, and technology standards; (2) supporting the recruitment and retention of K-12 teachers under a professional development learning environment; (3) reallocating existing resources to support the Cleveland USP; (4) mobilizing community stakeholders to support teachers in their efforts to instill effective and technology-rich science and mathematics learning for students; and (5) ensuring that all students will meet or exceed the state's proficiency standards (and local) for academic achievement in science and mathematics. As a result of the three-stage process, the proposal did not received ratings sufficient to recommend full funding. However, the National Science Foundation agreed to support the District via a highly monitored, task-specific technical assistance grant as suggested by the site visit team for stage three of the review process. The aim of the grant is to assist the school system in advancing its capacity to provide a solid science and mathematics education for all students. The targets of this highly specific support is directed toward: (1) Building leadership capacity in science and mathematics particularly at the middle district level; and (2) Accelerating the modification and implementation of the draft standards in science and mathematics. The duration of the grant is 12 months at a level of $500,000.

克利夫兰市学区（CMSD）的建议是利用城市系统倡议（USI）的成功和从语言艺术和英语标准的实施中吸取的经验教训，以改善科学和数学教育。 因此，在这些努力的基础上，其目的是通过以下方式加快地区一级科学和数学的系统变革：（1）使用高质量的调查驱动和技术丰富的课程，教学和评估材料，与当地的数学，科学和技术标准保持一致;（2）在专业发展学习环境下支持K-12教师的招聘和保留;（3）重新分配现有资源以支持克利夫兰USP;（4）动员社区利益相关者支持教师努力向学生灌输有效和技术丰富的科学和数学学习;以及（5）确保所有学生在科学和数学学业成绩方面达到或超过国家（和当地）的水平标准。 由于这一三阶段进程，该提案没有得到足以建议全额供资的评级。 然而，国家科学基金会同意按照实地考察小组在审查过程第三阶段提出的建议，通过高度监测的、针对具体任务的技术援助赠款来支持该地区。 该补助金的目的是协助学校系统提高能力，为所有学生提供扎实的科学和数学教育。 这一高度具体的支持的目标是：（1）建设科学和数学方面的领导能力，特别是在中区一级;（2）加快科学和数学标准草案的修改和实施。 赠款期限为12个月，数额为50万美元。
