Trustees discuss Region 4 RISE instructional support grant; no motion taken
Summary
District staff presented a proposed Grant Agreement with Region 4 Education Service Center to provide Rapid Instructional Enhancement (RISE) support; administrators noted potential benefits and concerns but the board made no motion to approve the grant at the action item.
Tarkington ISD staff presented a proposed Grant Agreement with Region 4 Education Service Center to provide Rapid Instructional Enhancement (RISE) support, and trustees discussed the program's potential benefits and concerns. Mrs. Edie Lang, Director of Elementary Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, and Mrs. Ami Potts, Chief of Schools, led the presentation; Superintendent Dr. Elna Davis and campus principals Dr. Mary Lariviere (Tarkington Middle School) and Mr. Brandon O'Neal (Tarkington Elementary School and Tarkington Early Childhood School) also provided perspectives on implementation challenges and advantages.
When the grant agreement returned to the action agenda, "a motion was not made so no action was taken"; the minutes do not record any vote or approval. The board's discussion indicates interest in the instructional supports but also notes concerns that will likely be revisited before any formal approval.
