Superintendents Report and Recommendations Mr. Hanger reported that the district will receive funds from the Federal government in several categories. During fiscal 2008-2009 those dollars accounted for over 6.9% of receipts in the ǸԹ Budget. These programs operate with strict accounting measures as to how those dollars can be spent. It is a confusing set of terminology to say the least, when trying to come to grips with an array of programs and the acronyms under which they operate. The following information is provided in part by the United States Department of Education and is designed to help you understand the Department of Education program structure and the associated expenditures and reporting measures related to funding received by our district. ARRA The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 provided Nebraska schools with additional funding as part of the State Aid package. ARRA funds were allocated as State Fiscal Stabilization Funds (SFSF). For fiscal 2010-2011 ǸԹ will receive $94, 608 SFSF dollars as part of a total package of state aid that amounts to $628,107. Title I The purpose of this title is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. This purpose can be accomplished in part by: (1) Ensuring that high-quality academic assessments, accountability systems, teacher preparation and training, curriculum, and instructional materials are aligned with challenging State academic standards so that students, teachers, parents, and administrators can measure progress against common expectations for student academic achievement; (2) Meeting the educational needs of low-achieving children in our Nation's highest-poverty schools, limited English proficient children, migratory children, children with disabilities, neglected or delinquent children, and young children in need of reading assistance; (3) Closing the achievement gap between high- and low-performing children, especially the achievement gaps between minority and nonminority students, and between disadvantaged children and their more advantaged peers; ǸԹ will receive $35,500 in Title I funding for fiscal 2010-2011 plus an additional $3,200 in ARRA Title I funding to be carried over from the previous fiscal year. Title II A The purpose of the program is to increase academic achievement by improving teacher and principal quality. This program is carried out by: increasing the number of highly qualified teachers in classrooms; increasing the number of highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools; and increasing the effectiveness of teachers and principals by holding LEAs and schools accountable for improvements in student academic achievement. ǸԹ will receive $9,305 from Title IIA in fiscal 2010-2011. Title V PROMOTING INFORMED PARENTAL CHOICE AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS PART A INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS PURPOSES- The purposes of this title are the following: (1) To support local education reform efforts that are consistent with and support statewide education reform efforts. (2) To provide funding to enable State educational agencies and local educational agencies to implement promising educational reform programs and school improvement programs based on scientifically based research. (3) To provide a continuing source of innovation and educational improvement, including support programs to provide library services and instructional and media materials. (4) To meet the educational needs of all students, including at-risk youth. (5) To develop and implement education programs to improve school, student, and teacher performance, including professional development activities and class size reduction programs. While no funding has been awarded directly to our district via Title V, we are allowed to REAP-Flex money from Title II A, Title D and Title IV in order to expend the dollars through Title V with less restrictions than we would see under Title II. REAP Part B of Title VI of the reauthorized Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) contains Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) initiatives that are designed to help rural districts that may lack the personnel and resources to compete effectively for Federal competitive grants and that often receive grant allocations in amounts that are too small to be effective in meeting their intended purposes. This money cannot be utilized for payroll purposes and is limited to providing resources such as textbooks and technology to REAP schools. Grant awards have not yet been released at this time but we anticipate that we will receive approximately $45,000 from this program. IDEA The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law ensuring services to children with disabilities throughout the nation. IDEA governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education and related services to more than 6.5 million eligible infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities. Infants and toddlers with disabilities (birth-2) and their families receive early intervention services under IDEA Part C. Children and youth (ages 3-21) receive special education and related services under IDEA Part B. ǸԹ receives approximately $136,000 through three programs associated with IDEA grants. These include Enrollment Poverty $61,840, ARRA IDEA $21,500 and an IDEA Base grant of $52,915. Expenditures from IDEA are closely monitored for compliance and awards vary from year to year due to the passage of ARRA. Universal Service Funds Universal Service Funds are provided to schools and libraries to assist in defraying costs associated primarily with telecommunications services including local and long distance phone service, distance learning costs, and internet costs. Currently ǸԹ has received a commitment to fund 60% of our costs in these categories. The percentage of reimbursement is based on the districts poverty rate. We are scheduled to receive $33,133 in discounted invoices or reimbursements for fiscal 2010-2011. L. Board of Education Development 1. Area Membership Meetings September 15 2.
