Karen Bixler, the district’s title programs coordinator, told the board that the district’s Title I allocation for the school year totaled \"just over $4,500,000\" (including carryover) and that Title I funds currently serve more than 3,900 students in eight schools. She said two additional schools — Skyview Middle School and Power Technical Middle School — will be added to Title I next year and that planning with those campuses is already under way.

Bixler outlined other federal allocations presented to the board: Title II final allocation (just over $640,000) to support educator professional development and district-level coaching positions; Title III allocation (about $130,000) that funds CLDE family liaisons and newcomer supports; and Title IV allocation (around $280,000) to support well-rounded learning, safety/healthy school initiatives and educational-technology work such as U-Science and EduReady platforms.

She described the district’s annual review and consolidated-application process, noting that Title funds are supplemental to state and local funding and are allocated following a needs assessment and Unified Improvement Plan alignment. Board members asked clarifying questions about district carryover and how Title I funds are targeted to elementary and middle schools rather than high schools; Bixler explained allocation methodology and criteria used to determine school eligibility.

Directors praised aspects of the district’s programs and asked the coordinator to continue engagement with principals and stakeholders as planning proceeds for next year’s Title I service areas.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","District 49 Board of Education Meeting, March 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District coordinator Karen Bixler presented the district’s annual Title programs update, describing allocations and planned uses for Title I, II, III and IV funds and announcing that Skyview Middle School and Power Technical Middle School will join the district’s Title I schools next year.","taxTitle","El Paso County Colorado School District 49, School Districts , Colorado","taxId",38500,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6635920,"Public urges broader community input as board debates revisions to Policy AD (identity, vision, mission)",7189,2878000,10067000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2616233-353411612b4ecc4dd71ee224b138829c&start=2878&end=10067","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2616233-353411612b4ecc4dd71ee224b138829c/thumbnail_2878000.jpg","/articles/6635920/Colorado/Public-urges-broader-community-input-as-board-debates-revisions-to-Policy-AD-identity-vision-mission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635920-6032a852eb009eb80c98b06e1e293807/orig.mp4?Expires=1775143135&Signature=Mzx-uN881ipAqUeIN8c~Nqhq1TgRKG5l4C5Rm81C9o8GMJ0mtIg3OCPSnrQbr2X5pYaS0jeriVmFVwFueLiwJ5KzAWDKKcQtgRxOqs6kGOh~AChzgQ1J6VuOzKlxgfSCnQFLoll8YFU~4nVRxTszHL4ecNtr2B0EEeWIfTKq2EUKotivXE3GjOGN48o11azB-NBJj5~mv1i59Xp2HOfk3c-78HI-U1hFZYQ99KNle5BZCPhzqbXD~4AVXFIFCzc-~Q7tTkXshdxSK4WDfDus-LLTyUU8Wv7ii8UD~~vljWMJl9tIl-l9H1hQGPXMRMnogHqOzioPi86Eozqnf9Be0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Community members and parents used the District 49 open forum on March 13 to press the board for wider public engagement after the district circulated proposed revisions to Policy AD, the district’s identity, vision, mission and philosophy statement.

Dr. Lindsey Lee, who identified herself as a D49 parent and vice president of Neighbors for Education, told the board she had “more to say” after reviewing the proposed changes and warned that \"what you're really doing with the revisions ... is realigning the culture of this district.\" Lee urged the board to ensure students, staff, parents and taxpayers have a fair chance to provide input before any major revision.

Other speakers raised related concerns. John Graham, speaking in support of school choice, urged transparency and corrective steps related to a separate charter review that has prompted controversy. Jeff Hall called for cancellation and rewriting of a district policy he characterized as \"compelled speech,\" saying the district should await litigation outcomes before taking further steps. Several other public commentators urged the board to end or avoid use of DEI-related materials in district programs; others raised child-protection concerns and state legislation they said the board should consider.

Board members responded in open discussion. Board President Lori Thompson and several directors said the board values the existing cultural compass; Director Schmidt proposed specific wording changes to emphasize the United States as a constitutional republic rather than a \"global society.\" Multiple board members cautioned that changes to a widely displayed district statement should follow broader stakeholder engagement processes similar to those used when the cultural compass was originally adopted.

Rather than vote on final policy text at the meeting, the board agreed to move the proposed revisions to a future work session for more detailed discussion and community input. The president framed the next step as a non-decisional discussion item to allow time for additional stakeholder feedback and to reconcile the policy text and any administrative regulations.

The item remains in discussion stage; no final policy change was adopted at the March 13 meeting.","Public speakers and several board members raised concerns about proposed revisions to Policy AD, which would update the district’s identity, vision, mission and philosophy language.

The board approved the meeting agenda early in the session and later approved the consent agenda without recorded dissent. Both measures were made by motion and second and recorded in roll call votes.

The board unanimously approved a proclamation declaring April as the Month of the Military Child after a presentation from Kelly Chapelle, the district’s military student family liaison, who asked the board to “uphold the tradition of declaring April as Month of the Military Child in District 49.” Student board members and several directors offered brief remarks of support.

Separately, the board voted to renew Mountain View Academy’s charter for five years and directed district legal counsel to negotiate and finalize the contract with conditions identified by the board at a prior work session. That motion passed in open session and a board member later recorded an additional aye via the meeting record; the item was listed on the agenda as an action item and concluded with formal approval.
