Summary

At the Feb. 9 meeting Caroline County Public Schools staff reported $1.79M in remaining All In grant activity and described how funds are being used for accelerated learning, reading specialists, attendance officers, and mental-health supports, with a required spend-down date of June 30, 2026.

Assistant Superintendent Mudd and Superintendent Dr. Sarah Calverick presented the Achieve 2027 "All In" grant update and told the board CCPS received just over $1.8 million in All In funds to support post-pandemic recovery work.

Mudd laid out the original allocations and explained that state guidance allowing flexibility among the three allocation "pots" enabled CCPS to target funds to division needs. He told the board the planned uses include high-intensity tutoring ($1,267,493), Virginia Literacy Act implementation ($362,141), and chronic absenteeism interventions ($181,070). Mudd reminded the board that "All In funds must be spent down by 06/30/2026, and CCPS is right on target to achieve this." (transcript)

Staff summarized specific investments made or planned: full- and part-time tutors, online platforms (Lexia, Mathspace, Kiddom), addition of reading specialists (including converting a CMS reading specialist from Title I to All In), expansion of the attendance officer role and communication platforms to reduce chronic absenteeism, purchase of Care Solace for mental-health navigation, and professional learning including Ron Clark Academy attendance for staff.

Board members asked how funds could be repurposed to address Bowling Green Elementarys needs; staff said they had already used All In to create an admin intern for Bowling Green that was later built into the baseline budget, added a second reading specialist at CMS, and are requesting additional reading specialists and special education supports in the FY27 budget to address persistent needs.

Mudd and Calverick also described ongoing monitoring: monthly All In committee meetings in the fourth quarter and a final grant review slated for the June or July school board meeting to ensure full spend down and alignment with FY27 priorities.
