Board approves job-description changes and two Title I verification positions
Summary
Trustees approved renaming 'literacy coach' to 'instructional intervention coach' (add math) and hiring two 0.25 household-income verification specialists (Title I funded, $5,000 each) to improve data capture and possibly restore Title I eligibility to schools; administration cited a prior $8M→$10M increase tied to improved data capture.
The board approved a pair of staffing/job-description changes intended to strengthen Title I compliance and instruction supports.
Administration said the 'instructional intervention coach' is a title change (formerly literacy coach) to reflect added math responsibilities, with no salary change. The district also proposed two 0.25 household-income verification specialist positions to improve student economic-eligibility data for Title I calculation; the positions were presented as Title I-funded and estimated at $5,000 each.
Officials described past work where improved data collection was associated with increased Title I allocations — an example given was a growth in Title I funding from about $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 after an outreach effort that captured additional eligible students. The positions will be posted; administrators said improved accuracy in public and non‑public-school reporting could add staff or resources to schools that regain funding eligibility.
The motion to approve passed on roll call, 7 yeas.
