District staff reviewed recent grant activity and Title allocations. She told the committee the preventing-student-homelessness carryover from fiscal year 2425 totaled $9,735.84 and supported 14 families; an additional $1,100 award funded support for two more families, leaving no funds remaining. She said the McKinney-Vento subgrant supports unaccompanied youth and that the current allocation for the program year is $15,580.

On federal Title funding, staff reported final 2026 allocations totaling $515,680.41, with $403,544.04 in Title I. She said preliminary 2027 numbers were released and might increase modestly; staff also said the district expects approximately $63,000 in summer reallocation funding toward a summer program that typically costs about $77,000, leaving a shortfall that local funds must bridge.

Committee members discussed ways the community could assist families now that some emergency funds are exhausted and asked staff to explore volunteer or local-resource options while noting privacy and confidentiality constraints when dealing with vulnerable families.
