District told several federal Title grants are on hold; potential $160,000 shortfall
Summary
Superintendent Erika Bare told the board several federal titles (I-C, II-A, III-A, IV-A, IV-B) are under review following a change in administration; the district estimates around $160,000 of potential impact but has some carryover to offset losses.
Superintendent Erika Bare informed the board that several federal funding streams—specifically Title I-C, II-A, III-A, IV-A and IV-B—are being held while the U.S. Department of Education reviews FY 2025 funding decisions "Given the change in Administrations." She said the district has already set aside some money anticipating reduced Title II funding and that Title IV carryover should help mitigate some losses.
The superintendent estimated the district would face roughly $160,000 in financial impact if those federal funds are not awarded. Board members asked for additional details; administration said it will provide further updates once federal decisions are finalized. The board's preliminary budget picture already factors in some conservative set-asides based on this risk.
Why it matters: Federal Title funds support programs such as teacher professional development (Title II) and other student services; a $160,000 loss would require budget adjustments or reallocation of local resources.
