Summary
The board approved using Title I funds to purchase PA Coach supplemental instructional books for Kennett Middle School to support standards-aligned reading and math instruction; administration said the materials will supplement classroom and small-group instruction and that curriculum committee review can follow.
The Kennett Consolidated School District board approved a Title I–funded purchase of PA Coach books for Kennett Middle School at the Jan. 12 meeting.
Dr. Miller said the PA Coach materials align to Pennsylvania academic standards and will support whole-group, small-group and targeted skill development in reading and mathematics. The administration said the request originated from teachers and school administrators at Kennett Middle School and that Title I corrective-action funding provided an opportunity to replace worn sets. The materials will be supplemental and were not presented as a full curriculum adoption; staff offered to bring the resource to the curriculum committee at a later date if the board prefers.
Board members asked whether the books are physical or digital (staff confirmed physical books) and thanked staff for the work. The board approved the purchase by voice vote; the amount was included in the board materials as part of the food-service and capital lists and the fund breakdowns.
