Federal programs director reviews Title funding, McKinney‑Vento counts and testing plans
Summary
Federal programs director summarized Title I–IV funding uses, noted 147 students classified under McKinney‑Vento, and described testing statistics and transition plans to online testing next year.
The board received a presentation on federal programs, student supports and testing from the district’s federal programs team.
Presenter (Speaker 5) introduced the district’s federal programs director (Dr. Shay Painter). Painter explained Title I uses (nine Title I schools; funds for interventionists and materials), Title II professional development spending (including conference attendance), Title III ESL supports, and Title IV buckets (safe/healthy, well‑rounded, technology). She said Title funds supplement local resources for interventions and activities such as STEM nights and family engagement.
Painter reported that 147 students in the district were classified under McKinney‑Vento for the coming year; she described how Family Resource Center supports and wrap‑around services help those students remain at their school of origin. Testing data shared included 3,197 students tested in grades 2–8, 154 third‑grade retakes, and 4,756 EOC tests at the high school. Painter said the district will move toward online testing next year (with paper exceptions) and plans training and additional supports for younger grades and schools less experienced with online formats.
Board members asked clarifying questions; no formal votes were taken on federal programs at the meeting.
