Assignment:
Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:
Dr. Julie Wilson, Nalukai School District superintendent, has called Dr. Jennings and Mr. Hay, director of academics, into her office to present the board of education’s newly approved 3-5-year strategic plan. The board of education wants to see student achievement in mathematics increase across all subgroups (race, ethnicity, culture, special education) and has set targets for improvement by at least 10% in year one, at least 15% in year two, and a 10% increase each year until the final year of the strategic plan.
Dr. Wilson asks Dr. Jennings and Mr. Hay to work together to analyze how federal, state, and local funds will be used to fund this goal. She wants a report back on her desk by next Friday to be shared during the district improvement team meeting.
Research at least 1 funding source from each of the three funding sources (federal, state, and local funds) that will be assigned to this goal of increasing math achievement, K-12.
Discuss why Dr. Jennings and Mr. Hay identified these sources of funding, how they will be used, and who will be assigned to monitor this goal in the strategic plan.
