District wins three-year ODE summer-learning grant worth $790,000 per year; program targets literacy and credit recovery
Summary
Jillian told the board the district secured a three-year summer-learning grant from ODE ($790,000 per summer), described program rules (min. 80 hours, literacy focus), reported enrollments and credit accrual, and listed community partners and assessment tools used.
Jillian, who presented the summer-learning update, said the district received a three-year grant from the Oregon Department of Education worth $790,000 per summer. "So we received $790,000 from ODE per each summer," she said, and explained the grant requires programs to be at least 80 hours, prioritize in-person instruction and emphasize literacy grounded in the science of reading.
Jillian reported this summer's high-school program served 182 students and the Edwards K'12 federal program served 367 students; the district used diagnostic assessments (DIBELS, STAR) and programs like Edgenuity for high-school credit recovery. She said the grant's target enrollment for next year is 800 students and that the district expects high engagement through partnerships with local organizations, transportation support and meals.
