Committee approves two $6,673 stipends for literacy and math curriculum coaches
Summary
The Burlington School Committee approved two $6,673-per-year stipends to fund K'12 curriculum-coach roles for literacy and math to support MTSS implementation, data protocols and professional development.
The Burlington School Committee approved two stipends, each $6,673 per year, to fund academic curriculum-coach roles: one focused on literacy and one on math. The stipends are intended to support K'12 implementation of tiered intervention, consistent data protocols and teacher professional development.
Dr. Chen explained the literacy stipend will backstop MTSS work, common formative assessment practices and coordination between literacy coordinators and elementary principals. The math stipend is meant to support K'12 alignment, balanced assessment planning and data-driven problem solving at grade-level meetings.
Committee members noted the stipends are for work outside regular contracted hours and that positions will be posted to invite applications. Staff said the stipends reflect existing priorities around research-based interventions and are intended to provide consistent protocols across elementary and secondary levels.
What's next: The positions will be posted and filled according to district hiring and posting rules; committee will receive updates on implementation and impact as the roles are staffed.
