Summary:
|
Dr. Peggy Buffington, Superintendent, will recommend that the EES Company be hired to assist with curriculum and assessments that are more aligned to the Indiana State Standards and ILEARN. In addition to the work with academics, EES will write competitive grants to assist with more services for students. The ESSER III grant will be used to cover the cost. This service has been of tremendous vale to school corporations such as Kokomo trying to find solutions to state assessments and the gap of proficiency.
EES is on the IDOE Approved Technical Assistance Provider list that meets all four criteria regarding COVID Recovery & Student Learning. They meet the Learning Loss, Supporting Educators, Sustainable Innovation, and Sustainable Infrastructure categories. They had to provide evidence regarding our impact in all four areas. There are only four companies that meet all four criteria, and they are the only in-state company. They are a sole source provider for the Instructional Priority Model (IPM) where they enhance core instruction through evidence-based interventions, and their Curriculum Process targets work for our district with needs based on standards and assessments, as well as every student’s individual needs and growth model.
A resolution will be prepared by William Longer, School Board Attorney.
