Interim Superintendent Paul K. Smith reported that Region 17 is facing a reduction of $37,589 in grant funding from the State Department of Education.
Smith told the board the cuts affect the Title II grant, which supports teacher training to improve instruction, and the Title IV grant, which supports student improvement initiatives. The minutes do not list specific line-item adjustments or how the district will offset the loss; board members later referenced the State Department of Education withholding grant funds when reporting on local selectmen conversations.
The superintendent also provided a brief update on the IT department's status and role within the district. The minutes record the dollar amount lost and the grant programs named but do not attach a detailed fiscal plan to address the shortfall.
