District outlines Titles I–IV federal applications and equitable services to private schools
Summary
Dr. Payne reviewed federal Title I–IV applications, noting allocations are written to last year’s figures for submission, Title I will fund personnel (preschool coordinator, reading specialists), United Christian Academy will receive an equitable share of $34,972, and measurable objectives are pending final SOL data.
Dr. Payne presented the district’s federal grant applications for Titles I–IV and summarized how the funds are planned to be used if allocations remain consistent with last year’s numbers.
She said Title I allocations are primarily personnel: funds would support a preschool coordinator, an RTI coordinator at Nathaniel Greene, three reading specialists and two instructional assistants, and that purchase services and materials would support field trips and parent‑engagement activities (estimated at ~$13,000 per school for field trips and ~$3,000 per school for parent engagement). She explained that federal requirements govern allowable uses and that the district is required to offer equitable services to private schools: Blue Ridge School declined services, while United Christian Academy accepted an equitable share of $34,972 to provide tutoring to assigned students.
Dr. Payne noted the applications use last year’s allocation figures for the initial submission and said the only item missing in the packet was updated measurable objectives, which require final SOL results. Board members thanked staff for preparing the applications and noted the administrative work required to secure federal funding.
