Summary

Board reviewed the School Improvement Act (SIA) grant agreement (two-year total ~ $769,000) and tabled approval because final papers were not available at the meeting; superintendent explained how SIA funds pay for instructional coaches, expanded CTE and literacy programs.

A committee member moved to approve the 2025–26 SIA grant agreement; the superintendent walked the board through what the funds cover, saying the two-year total was "about $769,000." The superintendent identified specific uses: instructional coaches, expanded career and technical education programs, some literacy programs and a portion of instructional-assistant time.

The motion to approve was tabled because the final agreement document was not available at the meeting (staff indicated Jennifer had not provided the final copy). The board agreed to circulate the document and consider the item at a later meeting.
