Superintendent highlights anonymous reporting app, tutoring center and grant awards
Summary
Superintendent Kimberly Sheehan announced the district's anonymous reporting app 'Stop It,' updates on the Pirate Academic Center tutoring hours and funding, and that the Pirate Foundation/Ganey grants produced 19 applications with 15 awards (fully or partially funded).
Superintendent Kimberly Sheehan used her report to highlight student safety and academic supports. She said the district launched an anonymous reporting app called "Stop It," which she posted to the district's Facebook and Instagram pages and placed on the website, and described the Pirate Academic Center — open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 7 p.m. — as a tutoring and study resource for students.
Sheehan also reported on philanthropic support: an anonymous donor made a donation that, together with funding from the Lewis Foundation and the San Inez Pirate Foundation ("Ganey's generosity" in transcript), will support the tutoring center into the second semester. She said the foundation process generated 19 grant applications and that 15 proposals received full or partial funding; the district anticipates presenting data on the program's impact at the January board meeting.
