Board hears plan to reallocate A&I funding toward academic supports; administration will present details in June
Summary
Directors and administration discussed redirecting Achievement and Integration (A&I) resources to close student achievement gaps. Superintendent Thomas said staff will propose reallocations and implementation steps in June; APAC feedback will be incorporated.
Board members raised concerns about achievement gaps, community feedback from the APAC committee, and whether A&I funds are optimally targeted. Superintendent Thomas said he is working to realign some A&I resources to provide additional direct student supports and to focus on closing identified achievement gaps.
Nut graf: The conversation centered on aligning A&I spending with the district’s new strategic plan and APAC community input. While board members requested an accelerated review, administration said a substantive reallocation requires time to engage APAC and program leads and to follow internal review processes, and that proposed changes will be presented to the board in June.
Several directors urged a faster timeline. One director said she expected reallocation work following a February discussion and urged prompt action to avoid another school year without change. The superintendent said changes are underway — including adjustments to staff roles — and reiterated that any plan revision will be brought through teaching-and-learning and finance channels before board action.
Ending: Administration will prepare a proposal showing how A&I funds could be reallocated to academic interventions, including recommended metrics and the implementation timeline, and will present it to the board at a June work session; APAC engagement will be part of the process.
