Superintendent highlights grants, partnerships and district priorities
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Champ reviewed district accomplishments, ongoing partnerships (Pelham Together), a student resilience survey contract with Authentic Connections, and a grant tied to a fitness-room project; she also previewed policy work to appear at the August meeting.
Superintendent Dr. Champ used the July 29 board meeting to summarize the district's work over the past year and to highlight current partnerships and grant-funded projects. She told the board the district implemented a tax-cap-compliant budget amid a challenging fiscal environment, continued work on the capital improvement bond and advanced curriculum alignment and extracurricular programs. "Under her leadership, the district developed a tax cap, compliant budget in a very challenging fiscal environment," the Chair had said in the meeting introduction; Dr. Champ then expanded on the operational detail.
Dr. Champ described an agreement with Authentic Connections to continue administering the student resilience survey to 8th, 10th and 12th graders and noted a grant disbursement tied in the packet to a fitness-room project (described in the transcript as the dormitory Dazney grant). "They have been the provider for the student resilience survey that we've given now, for several years," Dr. Champ said. She also thanked community partners including Friends of Pelham Sports and described how Pelham Together's social workers and interns supplement pupil personnel services in schools.
