Board reviews 'integrated programs' budget: $1.3M student investment account to fund counselors, CTE and tutors
Summary
Curriculum director Tanya Cinco presented the district's integrated guidance budget for 2025–26, reporting approximately $460,000 for the high‑school success grant and over $1.3 million in the Student Investment Account to cover counselors, CTE teachers, tutors and equity stipends.
Tanya Cinco, the district's curriculum director, walked the board through a one‑page integrated plan budget that combines multiple grants into a single spending proposal for 2025–26.
"We're just getting just over $460,000 for our student high school success grant," Cinco said, and she explained how those funds and the larger Student Investment Account would pay for academic counselors, social‑emotional counselors, portions of CTE teacher salaries and summer programming. "Our student investment account is substantially larger, at just over $1,300,000," she reported, and cited specific staff who would be funded in whole or in part by those grants (Catherine Allred and Misty Snively as academic counselors; Philip Johnson as a social‑emotional counselor; CTE staff including Julia Scaleri and Kendan Findley; and tutors for targeted early literacy work).
Cinco stressed these are projected one‑year allocations in a two‑year biennium and that next year's amounts are not yet finalized. She also noted the district is using the grants to cover summer programs, equity team stipends, speech and language positions, and to support technology peer stipends tied to the early intervention grant.
The presentation concluded with an ask: board approval of projected expenditures to spend these grant funds in support of student services next school year.
