Summary
Board members reviewed planned allocations of Title I–IV funds for 2026–27, including STEM curriculum purchases, Chromebook/iPad refresh for K and 3rd grade, interventions (MobyMax, Lexia), library computer replacement, and professional development for teachers and paraprofessionals.
The board received a synopsis of how federal Title grants will be allocated to support learning in 2026–27.
Melissa Obrock explained Title I funds will support STEM curriculum purchases for 2026–27, a refresh of student Chromebooks and iPads for kindergarten and third grade, summer school teacher salaries, research‑based math and ELA interventions (MobyMax and Lexia), and replacement of library computers used for student research and checkouts. Title II funds will support professional development for small‑group instruction, paraprofessionals, and special education teachers related to 504s. Title III will fund ELL curriculum and bilingual family event supplies; Title IV will be used for additional STEM materials, classroom monitors, and school safety visual indicator lights that were installed in gyms and the auditorium.
The allocations were described as planned uses in the board packet; specific purchase orders and contracts will follow procurement rules and appear in future business items as needed.
