District reports roughly $9 million in ODE grant-funded staff, sets targets for attendance and reading by 2028
Summary
A presenter said ODE-integrated grants fund roughly 75 staff and just over $9 million in programs; intended outcomes include a 5 percentage-point attendance increase and a 4 percentage-point increase in third-grade reading by 2028, with 2023–24 as baseline.
A district presenter provided the annual report on Oregon Department of Education (ODE) integrated grants, highlighting three major funding streams: the Student Investment Account, the High School Success Act and early literacy grants.
The presenter said the programs funded roughly 75 staff positions last year and a total of just over $9 million. Stated intended outcomes by 2028 included increasing attendance by 5 percentage points, raising third-grade reading by 4 percentage points and improving ninth-grade on-track rates toward 100%. The presenter noted 2023–24 as the chosen baseline year and discussed correlations observed between attendance and achievement.
Board members asked for baseline clarifications and what happens if targets are not met; staff confirmed the baseline and said unmet targets require resetting goals under grant reporting rules.
