YOU'RE INVITED TO A LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS MEETING

What is ESSA? ESSA provides federal funding to schools, districts, and states to raise achievement for low-income students and to other historically disadvantaged students, and to implement various specific programs. For our District it is for the Title IA, Title IIA, Title III and Title IVA grant monies.
ESSA requires each school to consult with an array of stakeholders to discuss the District ESSA Local Education Agency (LEA) Written Plan (“Plan”). We want your opinion on how our District can best support and serve struggling or high-need students.
We are required to have a varied cross-section of stakeholders in attendance when we present our Plan. Many of you will overlap categories: teachers; principals; other school leaders; parents/family members; paraprofessionals/aides; specialized instructional support personnel; administrators; other appropriate school personnel; community partners/community-based organization/community members; researchers; early childhood education programs; institutions of higher education; employers; local government representatives; Indian tribes or tribal organizations; other stakeholders/other organization with relevant experience; and public/private entities. Students are not an ESSA required stakeholder. However, we feel strongly that they should be included in our group. Students under age 16 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian to this meeting.
We will present our District’s Plan to you. This Plan lets you know the who, what, why and how of our District’s goals and visions for the Title funds. Once we have given you the synopsis of our Plan we will ask for your valued input. Our presentation may be recorded to assist us with documenting your questions and input.
At the end of the meeting, we will draw for a gift certificate to a local business.
