Summary:
|
In March, 2023, State Superintendent, Catherine Truitt, recommended, and the State Board of Education approved the use of additional ESSER funds to expand the support given to schools with a low performing designation. A review of those schools who have persisted with this designation since 2015 revealed 22 districts that could possibly benefit from expanded DPI services. Warren County Schools was one of the 22 districts that qualified for these services. In April, DPI contacted Superintendent Sutton and offered these services which we accepted and the partnership with Relay began. Over the past school year, Relay provided 12 days of coaching in schools that involved classroom observations, planning supports for teachers and/or grade levels/departments, and practicing of instructional leadership skills. They also provided 8 hours of virtual coaching per month (8, 1 hour Zoom meetings or 11, 45 minute Zoom meetings). Meetings were with the Superintendent, district leaders and school leaders and focused on development of instructional leadership skills.
School leaders in Warren County Schools and around the state have benefited tremendously from the Relay partnership. At this time, state funding for these services has ended due to the expiration of ESSER funds. Warren County Schools and Relay are working to create a plan to continue supporting the district and the progress that has been made. Staff is requesting approval of the proposal to continue services with Relay. |
