Grants office reports Perkins allocation and improved student survey participation for Title IV needs assessment
Summary
Grants coordinator Miss Mobley reported the district's Perkins allocation of $108,005.41 and noted increased student participation in a Title IV needs assessment survey (from 5 respondents three years ago to 34 this year). State Title I allocations were reported as arriving at the state level; final local amounts will follow.
Miss Mobley reported over Zoom May 14 that the district's 2025 Perkins allocation is $108,005.41, a decrease of $7,024.39 from the previous year tied to modest declines in enrollment and poverty rates. She said the initial Perkins application has been approved and the allocated amount will appear in upcoming grant reports.
Miss Mobley also told trustees the Wyoming Department of Education has received Title I allocation information and local amounts should be known in the coming weeks. She said the spring consolidated grant meeting is scheduled for May 22 and that stakeholders are welcome.
On student engagement for grant needs assessments, Miss Mobley noted a substantial increase in Title IV survey responses: three years ago the district had five student responses; this year the same survey received 34 responses. "I was pretty happy with that student input increasing so much in the title 4 needs assessment," she said.
Board action: Trustees voted to approve the federal and state grants financial report as presented.
Why it matters: Federal and state grants fund specific programs, including career and technical education (Perkins) and Title I/Title IV supports. Final local allocations will affect next year's program budgets.
