Board agrees to hear presentation on Reading Pals volunteer model and requests update on community schools grant
Summary
Board members successfully moved to agendize a presentation inviting the MTSS coordinator and Michelle Curran to explain Reading Pals volunteer options and to request a status update from Chase on the community schools grant implementation.
Board members asked staff to place two informational items on a future regular meeting agenda: a community-facing presentation about the Reading Pals volunteer program and an update on the community schools grant implementation.
A board member explained the public-facing goal: provide practical tips for parents, grandparents and community volunteers and clarify why the Reading Pals delivery model shifted from in-school pull-outs to after-school sessions in some sites. The motion asked staff to invite the district MTSS coordinator and Michelle Curran to present at a regular meeting; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Separately, a board member requested an update from Chase on the status of the community schools grant now that funding has arrived and hiring is underway. That motion likewise passed by voice vote with no recorded nays. Staff said scheduling could be two regular meetings out to allow time to coordinate presenters and materials.
