Board approves one-year Ignite reading contract; district warns of potential future cost
Summary
The board approved a one-year Ignite reading contract funded by a grant for 2026–27; staff said the district may need to contribute about $180,000 in future years if the program continues.
The board approved a one-year contract with Ignite Reading to run a grant-funded one-on-one tutoring program for the 2026–27 school year. The district administrator (S1) said the program is grant-funded this year, Amy wrote the grant, and the Office of Educational Development (OED) provided the funding for the pilot year.
S1 cautioned the board that if the program is continued beyond the grant year the district would likely need to fund roughly $180,000 to maintain it. The board approved the one-year contract after staff described promising early results from the program and noted options for future funding (including SIA dollars).
