Board adopts Student Investment Account report outlining counseling, behavior supports and classroom staffing
Summary
The board accepted the Student Investment Account (SIA) annual report and heard allocations for the district: elementary and intermediate schools received six-figure allocations and supports will fund counseling, interventions, behavior supports and reduced class sizes.
The board reviewed and then approved the district's Student Investment Account (SIA) annual report. The superintendent described how SIA funds have been used to expand counseling, behavior supports, intervention staffing and to reduce class sizes.
S3 summarized recent allocations: roughly $361,000 to elementary-level supports, about $527,000 for the intermediate school and approximately $120,000 at the high school for the 24-25 budget period (figures presented in the meeting packet). "It's $2,000,000,000 investment every 2 years into our schools," S3 said of the statewide SIA program while explaining the district's portion and its student-support priorities.
After discussion the board moved and accepted the SIA annual report as presented; the chair recorded the vote as "Aye." Staff said the funds are targeted to mental and behavioral health, social-emotional learning, counseling positions and interventions designed to reduce academic disparities.
