Mr. Van Hoveln reported:
1.What is Title I? How do we use the funds? What is Title I? How do we use the funds? The purpose of Title I is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps. Schools in which children from low-income families make up at least 40 percent of enrollment are eligible to use Title I funds to operate school wide programs that serve all children in the school in order to raise the achievement of the lowest-achieving students.
Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to local educational agencies and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. Federal funds are currently allocated through four statutory formulas that are based primarily on census poverty estimates and the cost of education in each state. The grant runs from July 1-June 30
In FY 20, we received $116,619 in Title I funds. We used the funds to pay for the following: Title I Teacher Salary, Two Paraprofessional Salaries, Online Subscriptions such as Learning A-Z, Map Assessment, Scholastic, Lexia, Vocabulary Workbooks, Homeless Supplies, Chromebooks for 1st/2nd grade and ½ of the QNS annual fee.

b.Principal Reports
Mrs. Bridges reported:
*Last day of student “attendance” for the year was Friday, May 22nd.
*Teachers from both buildings worked with Andy Parker of Atlantic Research on May 27th and May 28th. The 27th focused on working on their curriculum maps. The 28th was designed to start looking towards next year. All the meetings were conducted via GoToMeeting.
*Thursday, May 28th the Class of 2020 graduated with individualized ceremonies. These ceremonies were by appointment and granted in 30 minute increments (25 minutes for ceremony/pictures and 5 minutes to exit building before the next family entered). Video and pictures were taken during the ceremony. These snippets have been compiled together to create a “full ceremony” including the senior slideshow, documentary created by Abe Welton, and the parade (which occurred on the originally scheduled graduation night – May 29th). The link to the YouTube video of the full ceremony is available on our social media pages and on the school website.
*The final faculty meeting for the 2019-2020 school year was held on May 29th. As a surprise to the teachers, the administration team had reached out to students and their families to send “good-bye” “have a good summer” videos. These videos were shared with the staff during the final faculty meeting.
