District flags $37,000 I-Ready cost, $30,000 mastery subscription split and $27,000 content-filter renewal
Summary
District staff told the Jan. 25 workshop that several instructional subscriptions and a content filter are upcoming costs: I-Ready will cost about $37,000; a mastery/assessment subscription will be split among federal, Title and general funds at about $30,000; and a content-filter renewal required by law could be about $27,000.
District staff told a Jan. 25 Cannon County Schools workshop that several instructional software subscriptions and a content-filtering service will be material items in next year's budget.
The presenter said the district will need to pick up I-Ready at an estimated cost of $37,000 and that MasteryConnect (described in the packet) will be paid one-third by federal funds, one-third by Title and one-third by the general fund, with the total around $30,000. The presenter also said the district must renew its content-filtering service ("line wise" was cited) and that the service is "required by law," estimating the cost could be about $27,000.
The presenter added that the ACT certification/tool is helpful for raising scores but did not provide a final price in the discussion. No action was taken; staff asked finance staff to include these recurring subscription costs in the budget review.
Direct quotes and cost figures were provided by district staff during the workshop; staff recommended these items be included in budget planning.
