001I will talk to Brian about it tomorrow. So to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. President approve agenda for special meeting. [Music] Madame President, members of the board, um I have to ask for this special board meeting specifically for this um grant that we've applied and we have approved. Um last week I did receive an email from um PE that the funding has already been made available and um however it need to be spent by September 30. So with that amount of time uh we need to be able to talk to the vendors to be able to have the court case order and then um because it's a grant it needs to be bargain
002first and the time frame uh we want to be able to spend the money and not give it back. So this afternoon I'm asking for the approval of the bar for a total amount of 48 uh for for total amount of 48,410. This is for three grants and for all the three grants the expenditures are on instructional materials and professional development. One of the grant is for the secondary literacy intervention. So we're not just doing intervention in elementary, we're also providing intervention for our middle school and high school. Then the second grant is for our ELD program, English language development program for our ELELLL students. And then the third grant is for Panorama uh program. And so I asked the board to approve the the bar and we'll submit it to PD and then once
003approved we will be able to uh encumber the money before the deadline. two bars. >> Two bar. Oh, there's two bars. So, there's two grants. The other grant is what we've also applied for another grant called the um EDF fellow. So, um in order to in order to um create a pipeline of educators, um I've invited uh our EAS. I've invited community members who would want to become trained teachers. And so um we do have uh a couple that wanted to do it but only one wanted to pursue enrollment in a college while uh while working for us. And um after knowing that we have some uh possible uh employee that wants to become a teacher um I look into the grant that was almost closing by then called the Ed Fellow. The Fellow provides
004uh a reimbursement from the PED to pay for anyone who wants to pursue their education and work in the district later on. So we are awarded 44,000 uh for this grant that pays for the salary and it also pays for the benefits. And then the the requirement is that the ED fellow enroll in a in a teachers college a minimum of six credits and and then participate in mentorship and participate in um community of practice. So right now we are using our ed fellow to support our um intervention class in the elementary. So we actually have an EA and we actually have an ED fellow and we have an interventionist and these individuals were the one working during the summer program for the reading intervention. So I asked the board to approve the bar do
005those two separate or all together was fine for a motion. >> Just one. Okay. Can I get a Thank you. Second close. Peter >> executive session. >> Yes ma'am. >> Okay. >> We'll go into executive session at 5:36. >> And then if I can if I can ask you to stay, sir. I'll call you in. Okay. Okay.
