Curriculum director details how grant funds were spent: tutors, counselors, early-literacy materials
Summary
The curriculum director reported that integrated-program funds (Student Investment Account, early intervention, early literacy) were allocated primarily toward people (counselors, tutors), curriculum adoptions, and early-literacy materials including Frog Street and phonics interventions; the district emphasized data-driven SIP planning and community surveys.
The curriculum director explained that the district consolidates several funding streams under "integrated programs," including the Student Investment Account, early intervention funding, and a new early-literacy grant. She said the district used these funds largely to purchase personnel supports (academic and social-emotional counselors), targeted tutors and curriculum resources: "we pay for our 2 academic counselors that is Miss Catherine Allred and Misty Snively at Winter Lakes," she said.
She detailed specific early-literacy purchases: Frog Street curriculum for pre-K, and phonics interventions referenced in the packet as "Gardner's New Alphabet" and "Secret Stories." The district also reported using UFLI resources and free workbooks from the ESD to support instruction at early grade levels and described processes used to allocate funds (SIP planning, community surveys and empathy interviews).
Board members asked clarifying questions about allocations and supports; the presentation was informational and no additional board action was taken during the report.
