GEEG (Governor's Educator Excellence Grant) provided three-year grants to schools to design and implement teacher performance pay plans from the 2005-06 to 2007-08 school years, and was implemented in 99 high-poverty, high-performing Texas public schools.

• A. A grant program for school breakfast programs
• B. A federal grant for charter schools
• C. Provided three-year grants to design and implement teacher performance pay plans from 2005-06 to 2007-08
• D. Financed school safety equipment

Answer: (C)

GEEG was a state effort to fund teacher performance pay as a way to improve teaching in high-poverty schools. The statement that best describes it is that it provided three-year grants to design and implement teacher performance pay plans from 2005-06 to 2007-08, across 99 high-poverty, high-performing Texas public schools. This matches the program’s purpose and timeframe. The other descriptions—grant funds for school breakfast programs, a federal grant for charter schools, or financing for safety equipment—do not align with what GEEG was about.
