Department of Education will expand leadership development support for sponsored community schools
Summary
The Department of Education and Workforce will increase appropriation authority to modify a contract with Atkins & Company to deliver leadership development and improvement supports for about 25 sponsored community schools; the request is non-GRF and limited to the school sponsorship office.
The State Controlling Board approved a request from the Department of Education and Workforce to increase appropriation authority for leadership development supports for community schools the department sponsors.
Aaron Rausch said the increase will modify an existing contract with Atkins & Company to provide school improvement supports and leadership development for the approximately 25 community schools the department sponsors. He said the request is a non-GRF increase limited to the school sponsorship office and was prompted by the department taking sponsorship of a larger e-school.
Senator Ingram confirmed the funds apply specifically to community schools sponsored by the department and that separate state and federal resources continue to support broader school-improvement efforts.
The board approved the appropriation without objection.
What happens next: The Department will modify the contract and proceed with program activities focused on the sponsored community schools.
