Council hears how Title I, II and IV dollars are used; district reports $30.5M Title I allocation
Summary
Staff reported the district’s Title I allocation ($30,536,493), summarized uses for centralized services and schoolwide programs, and Kimber Sergeant outlined Title II ($2.5M) and Title IV (~$2.3M) priorities including coaching, professional learning, safety and technology.
District categorical staff reviewed federal program monitoring and described how Title I, II and IV funds are used in San Bernardino City Unified.
The Title I presenter said the district applied for and received $30,536,493 to support its lowest-achieving students and schoolwide plans, funding centralized services such as ATLAS, family engagement workshops, program specialists, professional development and local assessments. The presenter described how Title I supports both school-level plans and district central services that target foster and homeless youth and help build parent engagement capacity.
Kimber Sergeant outlined Title II (district-level allocation of approximately $2.5 million) and said those funds finance professional learning, recruitment and retention activities, and coaching for principals and professional learning communities. Sergeant highlighted core coaching for early literacy and the districtwide two-day Kagan training attended by teachers this year.
For Title IV (roughly $2.3 million), Sergeant described three required spending ‘buckets’: safe and healthy students; well-rounded education (STEM, CTE, college & career programming); and effective use of technology. She noted the rule that at least 30% of Title IV funds must be spent in each bucket, and that up to 15% of one bucket may be used for devices if needed.
Presenters also shared formative assessment data: fall NWEA results showing about 29.53% of students on track in reading and 26.34% on track in math as early-year indicators used to target interventions.
No formal actions were taken; staff asked families to complete a feedback form to guide the LCAP federal addendum and budget decisions.
