Hillsboro SD 1J board approves Student Investment Act agreement and several routine items
Summary
The Hillsboro SD 1J board approved the Student Investment Act (SIA) grant agreement after staff described SIA spending buckets; the board also approved two new AP courses, accepted the annual financial report and approved a real-estate purchase-and-sale agreement.
Hillsboro School District (Hillsboro SD 1J) board members approved the district—s Student Investment Act (SIA) grant agreement and a series of routine agenda items during the regular meeting that followed the budget work session.
The SIA presentation described four categories of spending — class size reduction, instructional time, well-rounded learning and student health and safety — and staff explained minor shifts between those categories for the next biennium. Scott Harrison and integrated-program staff said the SIA allocation for the district was in the mid-to-high tens of millions; staff described the 2024–25 SIA allocation as roughly $19.5 million for one of the cited years and said forecasted biennium totals are about $26–27 million, while noting the presentation materials include the full line-item breakout on the district website.
