Board hears round‑2 grants wrap‑up; $2.1M fund balance rolls into Round 3
Summary
Staff reported Round 2 year‑3 outcomes for the systemwide needs program and said $2,100,000 is rolling into Round 3. Members asked for accountability data on attendance and for school-level descriptions of how everyday-counts grants were spent.
Dr. Kelly Jordan told the committee that total round‑2 expenditures were complete and that a fund balance of "$2,100,000 that is rolling over to support round 3." She said some contract money was reallocated during the round to get dollars to schools faster and credited the finance and grants teams for improved reporting.
President Eames asked for written comparisons showing attendance for the schools that received the $1,700,000 in everyday‑counts grants versus their prior-year attendance to assess impact. Jordan said staff will provide those comparisons and will include project-level descriptions of how each school used its grant funds. Jordan also said certain contracts that crossed fiscal years will continue to report outcomes in December.
