Required Narratives 
How does the LEA plan to use funds to implement prevention and mitigation strategies in order to continuously and safely operate schools for in-person learning?
*
To safely operate schools in person we plan on doing the following:
  • Hire extra personnel to reduce class sizes

  • Mental Health Contract Employee to work with students who need additional counseling or intervention

  • Additional Nursing supplies to keep our nurse stations stocked

  • Additional Nursing staff to work with staff and students to help keep a healthy environment

  • Additional Custodial Staff to continuously clean

  • Sanitization of facilities and band instruments by professional company

  • Professional Development to make teachers aware of safety protocols

  • Battery/Generator Backup for all schools and Central Office to prevent interruption of wifi

How will the LEA ensure that the evidence-based interventions will address the academic impact of lost instructional time and ensure that those interventions respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students including underrepresented student subgroups (each major racial and ethnic group, children from low-income families, children with disabilities, English Learners, gender, migrant students, students experiencing homelessness, and children and youth in foster care) and those who are particularly impacted disproportionately by the COVID-19 pandemic?
*

To ensure evidence based interventions will address academic loss and work with students who are most at need we plan to do the following:

  • Base Learning computer program to provide social/emotion support

  • PST/RTI/MTSS to identify and address deficiencies in individual student learning

  • Hire/Contract counselor for mental health through (EAMH)

  • After school and summer mental health programs

  • Needs Assessment will be conducted at each school and weaknesses will be identified and corrected 

  • Hire interventionists to work with small (fluid) groups of students throughout the day to provide the extra "dip" of instruction

  • After School computer programs to use during the after school program to address specific learning deficiencies in the after school students 

  • Professional Development for teachers to improve teacher efficacy and awareness

  • New Textbooks that are correlated to the new courses of study

  • Hire/Contract Occupational Health Therapist to work with students with physical disabilities so they do not miss class time

 

How will the LEA comply with the requirements of section 427 of GEPA (20 U.S.C. 1228a)?
The description must include information on the steps the LEA proposes to take to permit students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries to overcome barriers (including barriers based on gender, race, color, national origin, disability, and age) that impede equal access to, or participation in, the ESSER III program.
*

The following steps will be taken:

  • The description must include information on the steps the LEA proposes to take to permit students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries to overcome barriers (including barriers based on gender, race, color, national origin, disability, and age) that impede equal access to, or participation in, the ESSER III program.

  • We will ensure that no student or teacher will be denied participation based on gender, race, national origin, disability or age.

  • All guidelines and rules will be used to address this issue if and when barriers of this nature are identified. All students will have equal access to all resources and programs in TCS.

  • Professional Development

How will the LEA actively monitor their allocations, conduct interim audits to ensure an appropriate application of funds, collect and manage data elements required to be reported, and report this information to the community?
*

  • CSFO will upload a report to the website monthly to provide the community with a snapshot of the use of ARP ESSER III Funds.  

  • Monthly ESSER III Financial Meetings with CSFO, Superintendent and Federal Programs Director.

  • Monthly budget comparisons will be made by the CSFO, Superintendent and Federal Programs Director.

  • SDE budgetary accounting monitoring 

 

How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds?
*

To engage families and community members we will do the following:

  • Purchased Blackboard for contact with stakeholders and students
