District outlines $2.9M in federal funding, explains Title I supports and family outreach
Summary
District staff reported combined federal funding of $2,900,000 this year (a $27,000 increase, not including CSI) and described Title I interventionists, WIN groups, home visits and targeted summer tutoring. Board members asked how funds can be braided and how staffing shortfalls are being managed.
District staff presented an overview of federal-program funding and how those grants are being used to support instruction and family engagement.
"So our total total funding this year is 2,900,000, and we did have a $27,000 increase, not including CSI," a district presenter said while summarizing the consolidated federal allocation and the district's decision to reassign some Title 4 dollars into other buckets for flexibility. Presenters explained how Title I, Title II and Title V funds are braided to pay for interventionists, professional development, and innovative projects such as the district's eSports after-school program.
The Title I team described day-to-day supports: in-class push-in services, supplemental Tier 2/3 pull-outs, WIN intervention blocks and an extended-year/summer tutoring program funded through consolidated federal planning. Staff emphasized family-engagement activities including FACT meetings, home-porch visits and events aimed at ensuring families know how to support learning at home.
Board members also discussed staffing constraints: federal-funded positions require full certification, and enrollment declines have reduced intervention staff from larger rosters in prior years. Staff said they are using a mix of embedded coaching and district-based professional development to sustain services with a smaller team.
