Summary: Beginning in 2009, MDUSD received federal Title I ARRA funds to provide assistance to schools that have high concentrations of students from families living in poverty in order to help improve teaching and learning for students most at risk of failing to meet State standards. The additional funding is designed to enable districts to serve more students beyond those currently served within the current Title I program. One of the sites supported using ARRA funds during the last 2 years has been Ygnacio Valley High School (YVHS).
In September 2010, YVHS began working with Innovations Consulting which has provided support for teachers and for the administration team as they work to develop as learning communities, identify essential standards, develop formative assessments, and analyze student data to improve classroom instruction to ensure that all students meet state standards. This support has also helped the site develop effective interventions for struggling students and enrichment opportunities for those students who have mastered core content standards.
The amendment to the contract with Innovations Consulting is being presented for approval to provide an additional 3 days of support to YVHS, an increase of $3530, which would exceed $25,000 for this contract. The increase would be paid out of the site’s ARRA budget which must be spent by September 30, 2011.
Funding: Title I ARRA - 399.3011.10.5800
Fiscal Impact $3,530.00 Non-restricted categorical funds
