Board approves expansion of Lexia Core5 licenses for K–3 personalized reading plans
Summary
The board approved a purchase not to exceed $61,250 to expand Lexia Core5 licenses so all grades 1–3 students with personalized reading plans will have access. District expects to fund the extra cost largely through Title I restricted carryover.
The board approved a purchase not to exceed $61,250 to expand district licenses for the Lexia Core5 reading program so that all students in grades 1–3 with personalized reading plans can access the platform.
Background: A district presenter explained the district already uses Lexia Core5 and initially requested a renewal not to exceed $45,000. Staff recommended expanding access beyond Tier 2 and Tier 3 students to all students in grades 1–3 who have personalized reading plans, increasing the cost. Administration said additional cost is expected to be covered largely by Title I restricted carryover funds from 2024–25; staff said using the carryover this month would avoid a $17,000 carryover limit shortfall.
Board action: A motion to approve the attached purchase not to exceed $61,250 for the 2025–26 school year passed by voice vote.
Why this matters: District leaders framed the expansion as an early‑intervention and instructional support step that could help improve student outcomes and metrics used in accountability reporting. Staff also flagged that purchases timed before the start of the fiscal year could preserve the carryover and maximize Title I funding usage.
Ending: Staff will proceed to execute the purchase and finalize funding via Title I restricted funds as described.
