Van ISD to distribute one-time staff awards through LASO literacy grant, district says
Summary
A presenter told the Van ISD board the LASO literacy grant will fund one-time staff payments — $1,000 in December and May for campus staff and $500 for two campus representatives — and emphasized the funding is grant-based and 'at no cost to the district.'
A presenter (speaker 4) briefed the Van ISD Board of Trustees on a LASO-funded literacy initiative that will provide one-time staff awards tied to implementation work. The presenter said the grant will allow the district to award $1,000 to campus staff in both December and May and $500 to two campus representatives and administrators for developing a district framework. "This is at no cost to the district," the presenter said.
The presenter described the awards as grant-funded incentives intended to support literacy implementation and said the district is being cautious because the funding is not guaranteed beyond this award cycle. Board members did not take separate action during the presentation; the presenter said rollout to campuses would begin this week and that principals had completed a recent pulse-check on needs and supports.
