Assistant superintendent: district completed initial application for state literacy grant; curriculum purchase under review
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Ryan McMahon said the district completed an initial application for the state’s literacy funding grant and is meeting with Amplify (CKLA) as a possible curriculum purchase; details and the grant award amount remain pending.
Milan Area Schools Board of Education — Assistant Superintendent Ryan McMahon told the board on June 25 that the district completed an initial application for the state’s literacy funding opportunity (referenced in the meeting as a "35 m" literacy fund). The district is in an early phase; McMahon said the grant process requires an initial application, then additional steps if the district advances.
The administration is meeting with Amplify to review CKLA (Curriculum K–5 literacy program) and other vendor materials as the district considers a curriculum purchase should the grant proceed to award. McMahon said the district does not yet have final grant award information or the total cost; any purchase will return to the board for approval because it would be a significant curriculum expenditure.
Next steps: Administration will complete the second-step grant materials if invited and will bring any recommended curriculum purchases to the board for approval once grant details and costs are known.
