Board approves $1M/year request to sustain mastery-based learning collaborative
Summary
The State Board approved a motion to submit a $1,000,000-per-year agency budget request to continue modest support for mastery-based learning cohorts, delegating authority to the executive director to manage the request process.
The board voted to approve the agency-request budget for the Mastery Based Learning Collaborative and delegated authority to the executive director to manage the legislative request for the 2027–28 session. Staff described the request as $1,000,000 per year to maintain modest supports for cohort 1 and 2 schools (professional learning, Impact Fellows, Living Lab Schools, technical assistance and an external evaluation).
Randy and other staff said the $1M figure is a substantial reduction from prior investment levels (about an 80% cut from earlier support) and represents what staff view as the minimum necessary to keep proactive supports in place while building capacity in Educational Service Districts (ESDs) for long-term sustainability.
Jan Brown moved approval, Bill Kalapa seconded, and the board approved the motion by roll call. After the vote staff said they will continue to refine materials for legislators and asked board members to assist with advocacy.
