Federal grants help programs but come with strict rules, district says
Summary
The district described major federal funding streams (Title I, Title II, Title III, IDEA, Perkins, child nutrition), but emphasized these funds are restricted and intended to supplement, not replace, general-fund services.
"Our federal funding is probably our most restricted funding that we have," Ashley Amy said, outlining Title I (high-poverty supports), Title II (professional development), Title III (ELL supports), IDEA (special education) and Perkins (career/technical education) as distinct pots with specific allowable uses.
Amy also explained child nutrition is reimbursed based on student meals served and noted the district has provided free student meals since 2016. She stressed that IDEA and similar funds "add to" services but do not fully fund base staffing, meaning the general fund still carries core educator costs.
