Board reviews Title I-funded stipend to coordinate reading interventions

Riddle SD 70 Board of Education · May 21, 2026

Summary

Superintendent proposed using Title I grant funds to pay a stipend for a certified teacher to coordinate pull-out and push-in reading interventions; the board moved and seconded approval to create and advertise the stipend-funded position.

Superintendent Russell asked the board to approve a stipend-funded Title I coordinator position to coordinate additional reading supports for students below grade level. "We'll take somebody certified with a reading endorsement and pay them a stipend using the Title I grant funds," Russell said, explaining the plan would provide a weekly coordinator to map interventions and support instructional assistants.

Speaker 5 asked how many staff have the reading endorsement; the packet did not list candidates yet. Russell said the district will advertise the stipend and that the Title I funding is an annual entitlement the district applies for. The board heard the motion to approve the Title I coordinator stipend and a second was recorded; the transcript records general support but does not include a detailed roll-call tally.
