Staff briefs board on TSSA and school trust-land rules, and TSSA plan reviews
Summary
Staff explained the Teachers and Student Success Act (TSSA) and school trust-land procedures, described required local plan approvals, and noted several schools had plan overages that required state reporting and plan adjustments.
Brent and other staff briefed the board on the Teachers and Student Success Act (TSSA) and school land trust processes, describing how 75% of TSSA funds go directly to schools and how school plans must align with schools’ improvement plans (CSIPs). They said the remaining 25% of TSSA funds are used for district-level priorities including insurance costs for teachers.
Staff explained that trust-land and TSSA funds must be spent in alignment with board-established frameworks and that community councils must approve land-trust plans by a majority that includes more parents than school employees. Staff also reported several schools whose final school land-trust reports exceeded 10% plan overages; those schools were contacted and asked to submit corrective plan changes to the state, as required.
The board received the explanation and had no immediate action; staff said they will continue oversight of plan compliance and will return any schools’ corrective plans to the state office as required.
