Board reviews Title I-funded stipend to coordinate reading interventions
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.
