Clay County Board Accepts State Literacy Materials Implementation Support Grant
Summary
The school board voted to accept a Tennessee Department of Education multi-year literacy materials implementation support grant for grades 5–12; staff said the state will provide funds and direct allowable uses, and central office staff said they have completed state data collection and are planning next steps.
Chair introduced a motion to accept the Tennessee Department of Education literacy materials implementation support grant intended to ensure high-quality materials and literacy instruction for students in grades 5 through 12.
Chair described the award as a multi-year contract in which "the state gives us money forward and tells us where to spend it as well," and said the grant would help the district implement the curriculum process. The motion to accept the grant was moved and seconded; the board voted to approve the grant acceptance.
In the director's report, the central-office administrator noted the literacy network team finished the Tennessee Department of Education state data collection and that staff are planning the next steps for the literacy grant in grades 6–12. The administrator framed the grant as an implementation support resource and thanked the board for approving the item.
