District lays out integrated funds plan focused on literacy and targeted interventions
Summary
Stanfield SD 61 presented its required integrated plan, detailing use of SIA/EIS and other funds to support early literacy, behavior interventions and staffing; administrators said small student counts can flip performance determinations and highlighted a literacy specialist role.
The Stanfield SD 61 administration presented its required integrated plan to the board, explaining how SIA, EIS, high school success and early literacy funds will be used this year to support classrooms and targeted student interventions. The presentation said staff are tracking student data three times a year and using those reviews to deploy interventions for students not making benchmark progress.
The administrator outlined specific investments: a literacy specialist ("That's what Kim Harwood is doing."), a behavior specialist, a social worker and continued funding for CTE pathways and kindergarten transition programs. The plan keeps three primary outcomes tied to district goals — engaging students in classrooms, closing achievement gaps for focal populations, and improving stakeholder engagement — and ties performance reviews to those measures.
The administration cautioned that in a small district, one or two students can change whether the district "meets" a target: "We are small enough that one student not meeting wrecks our meet or not meet," the presenter said. Board members asked clarifying questions and were shown the handout with year-to-year percentages and fund buckets.
The board did not take immediate formal action on the plan; staff said adjustments are internal and that the plan's outcomes have remained consistent over time. The administration also noted the 2024–25 statewide data were not yet released and that the report discussed performance for 2023–24.
