Board designates Region 6 as LIFT grant provider; Region 6 to receive majority of award
Summary
Buffalo ISD approved Region 6 as the authorized provider for the LIFT grant; staff said Region 6 will receive roughly $334,600 (about 70% of an approximately $478,000 award) with the district retaining the remainder for stipends, supplies and training through August 2027.
Trustees approved Region 6 Educational Service Center as the authorized provider for the district’s LIFT grant. Staff said the total grant is about $478,000 and that Region 6 — as the approved partner provider — would receive approximately $334,600, leaving roughly $143,000 for the district to use for stipends, supplies and teacher training through August 2027.
A staff member summarized those allocations in discussion with trustees and said Region 6 representatives will meet with district leadership to begin implementation and a needs assessment. "They'll get $334,600 of it," a staff presenter said while explaining the provider allocation; staff said implementation support will include training and other services for K–5 and secondary teachers.
Trustees moved and seconded a motion to accept the provider designation and grant terms and voted to approve the action; staff said the grant runs through August 2027 and the district will reapply as appropriate.
