District says MSAP 2 grant will help fund AVID rollout; staff cites EBI status for federal dollars
Summary
District staff told the Academic Committee that AVID is identified as an evidence-based intervention (EBI) and that MSAP 2 grant language supports using federal funds to offset AVID implementation and teacher support costs; exact dollar amounts were not specified.
Staff told the Academic Committee that the MSAP 2 (Changemaker) grant includes language permitting the use of federal funds for AVID because the program was identified as an evidence-based intervention (EBI). "So, we are allowed to utilize federal dollars and it was specifically written within to this NSAP 2 grant," the staff member said.
The presenter said the grant will help the district offset costs associated with expanding AVID, including training and teacher support; however, the presenter did not provide exact dollar amounts or a full budget breakdown. Committee members asked about staffing and cost implications; staff said teachers’ FTEs were realigned in at least one school to support AVID and that grant funds would help cover remaining expenses.
The committee approved forwarding course proposals to the full board; financial details will be clarified in follow-up materials.
