Board accepts roughly $2 million in high‑impact tutoring grants for reading and middle‑school math
Summary
LRSD staff said the district won two high‑impact tutoring grants: approximately $1.4 million for middle‑school math (grades 6–8) and $720,000 for early reading, with a total around $2 million. The board approved acceptance and vendor selection by voice vote.
District staff told the board it was awarded two state or federal high‑impact tutoring grants the district applied for: a middle‑school math program worth about $1.4 million to serve roughly 1,200 students across middle schools, and a K–2 reading grant of about $720,000 to support between 300 and 325 students. The administration asked the board to accept the awards and approve the vendors recommended in the grant applications.
"Good news is we were awarded two of them — middle‑school math tutoring for 1.4 million dollars serving sixth through eighth grade students, 1,200 across all of our middle schools," a staff presenter said. The board moved to accept the grants and approve the partnerships (On Your Mark for K–2 reading; Imagine Learning for middle‑school math) and the motion was carried by voice vote.
The superintendent and staff said the grants are incoming funds (no local match required), and the district will move quickly to finalize rosters and schedules so tutoring can begin as soon as possible this school year.
What’s next: Staff will finalize contracts with the grant vendors, confirm rosters and schedules, and report implementation timelines to the board.
