School board certifies participation in Title I Part C migrant education with Carroll County
Summary
Patrick County School Board voted to certify participation in Title I Part C (migrant education) through Carroll County as the regional representative, a step required for the district to receive funding if it later has qualifying migrant students.
The Patrick County School Board voted May 8 to certify that the district wishes to participate in Title I Part C migrant education through Carroll County, the regional representative for the grant.
Presenters told the board the certification is a necessary administrative step to be eligible for funding if the district identifies qualifying migrant students next school year; it does not guarantee funds will be provided. “This is not necessarily that the funding is automatically coming to us,” the presenter said. Carroll County receives the grant funds and would distribute them to Patrick County based on the number of qualifying students.
Board members approved a motion to certify the Title I Part C application by voice vote. The transcript records the motion as approved but does not include a roll‑call vote or dollar amounts.
The presenter explained the certification allows the district to access funding only if qualifying students are enrolled and identified in the coming school year. No claim was made that qualifying students currently exist in Patrick County.
The board took the vote during the new‑business portion of the May 8 meeting after approving other consent items.
