Board advances $95,000 K16 dual-enrollment grant to expand Oakmont outreach to unduplicated students
Summary
Staff described a one-year $95,000 K16 grant to create a release period for a dual-enrollment coordinator at Oakmont High to expand family outreach and target unduplicated students (English learners, foster youth, free/reduced-price meal students); a motion to approve 6.15 was made during the consent-item actions.
District staff briefed trustees on a K16 dual-enrollment grant opportunity aimed at scaling dual-enrollment offerings at Oakmont High School and increasing outreach to unduplicated student groups.
Staff explained the one-year, $95,000 grant would fund a release period (not a new full-time hire) for a dual-enrollment coordinator to run family engagement, counseling nights and outreach so that more students and families understand available college-credit courses offered on high-school campuses. The program is intended to target unduplicated student populations — English learners, foster youth and students eligible for free or reduced-price meals — while remaining available to all Oakmont students. The district highlighted its partnership with Sierra College as a local community-college collaborator.
Trustees asked about obligations tied to the grant. Staff said the grant requires appointment of the coordinator and documentation of targeted outreach; principal-level oversight ("Principal Ban" in the transcript) would ensure delivery and targeting. A trustee made a motion to approve item 6.15 during the meeting; the transcript shows the motion and second but does not include a full roll-call tally in the provided excerpt.
Next steps: If awarded, Oakmont would identify the release-period coordinator for the 2024-25 year, implement family/community engagement activities and report outcomes to the board as required by the grant terms.
