Keyport Board: $80,000 high‑impact tutoring grant preliminarily approved; summer programs planned
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Seavoya announced preliminary approval of an $80,000 high‑impact tutoring grant to support intensive math and ELA tutoring in summer 2026 and the 2026–27 school year; the district also secured summer programming funds and outlined registration for Red Raider University.
Superintendent Dr. Seavoya said the Keyport Board of Education has received preliminary approval for an $80,000 high‑impact tutoring grant to fund intensive after‑school tutoring in mathematics and English language arts during summer 2026 and into the 2026–27 school year.
"We have received preliminary approval for our high impact tutoring grant, $80,000," Dr. Seavoya said, describing the funds as support for expanded tutoring services and the possibility of extending programming if the district secures additional approvals.
Why it matters: the superintendent said the district was one of roughly 55 awardees out of about 100 applicants in the countywide round, and the award would allow Keyport to offer targeted remediation and enrichment to students this summer. The district also learned it is eligible for additional summer programming funds and intends to submit another application to provide high‑school–level offerings that are not typically covered.
Practical details: Dr. Seavoya said students will receive summer reading and math assignments on May 22, with paper copies available on the district curriculum page. Registration for Red Raider University opens May 22 and closes June 4; the program is scheduled to run Mondays and Thursdays from June 29 to July 30. The superintendent said timelines are tight and that program expansion will depend on final grant paperwork.
Other related items: the student representative reported that yearbooks are in production (listed cost: $100) and highlighted upcoming events including prom (May 21) and a National Honor Society induction on June 11. Dr. Seavoya also referenced recent district events such as a Holocaust education assembly and professional learning around AI for teachers.
Next steps: the superintendent and staff will finalize grant acceptance paperwork and share registration links and additional logistics with families and the board once details are confirmed.
