Superintendent previews 'iNVest 2027' advocacy plan emphasizing funding, local governance and early literacy
Summary
Superintendent Joe Gent outlined four legislative pillars — sustainable funding, local governance (including reference to Senate Bill 460), early literacy and Pre‑K stabilization — and said a finalized 'iNVest 2027' advocacy document will come to the Board in August.
Superintendent Joe Gent reported ongoing collaboration with superintendents and legislative advocates statewide to prepare a coordinated advocacy strategy for the coming legislative session. Gent said the effort centers on four primary pillars: sustainable funding for all districts, reinforcing local governance (with attention to Senate Bill 460), strengthening early literacy, and stabilizing Pre‑K funding. He said a finalized 'iNVest 2027' document will be presented to the Board in August for review and support.
Trustees discussed the plan’s goals and the timing for Board review. Gent characterized the coordinated approach as a way to present unified priorities to legislators and advocates, and staff will bring the final document to the August meeting for action.
