District outlines integrated-programs spending: literacy, intervention and student-investment funds
Summary
The curriculum director summarized how the district allocated state and federal funding under an umbrella of integrated programs — student investment account, early intervention, and a new early-literacy grant — identifying curriculum purchases (Frog Street, phonics interventions), targeted tutors, and staff paid from grants.
The curriculum director presented the district's integrated-programs report, describing how multiple funding streams were tracked and used to support students. She said the work included community surveys, SIP (continuous improvement) plans by building, and targeted purchases: early-literacy materials (Frog Street), phonics interventions (Gardner's New Alphabet, Secret Stories), a targeted tutor at Lincoln School of Early Learning, and curriculum adoption supports. "This is again from last year because we're referencing what we spent last year," she said, explaining the presentation reviewed prior allocations and the reporting work required by state and federal grants.
She noted the district used funds primarily to pay people — academic counselors, social-emotional counselors, and instructors for career-technical education — and credited finance staff for compiling required reports. The director said UFLY and other no-cost resources also supported instruction and that the district continues to focus on attendance and social-emotional learning, especially at early-learning sites. Board members had follow-up questions about allocations and were directed to the posted plans and budget pages for line-item details.
