8.46:30Approval of Addendum to 2022-23 Measure U Application for Clifford SchoolAction
Item details
Rationale: Clifford School was given an original allocation of $162,037 in Measure U funds for 2022-23. A carryover allocation of $28,136 from the school year 2021-22 was added to the original allocation, which resulted in a total of $190,173 for the 2022-23 school year in Measure U funds. Clifford’s Site Council met on October 27, 2022, and approved the 2022-23 Addendum to their original Measure U application. The following amendments are proposed for Measure U for Clifford School for the 2022-2023 school year: Change the original allocation of $63,181 for a .5 STEM TOSA to a .5 Math Intervention and Elective teacher with the same funding allocation of $63,181. We were unable to fill the STEM position so we pivoted our plan to hire a .5 math push in model Intervention Teacher who will also teach one period of an elective course. Increase funding for PBIS, student incentives, and awards from $8,856 to $9,846. Reduce funding from $15,000 to $5,000 for STEM materials as we had to pivot this year from developing a makerspace to now piloting STEM activities in classrooms for 2022-23, which requires less funding. Add funding for Restorative Justice from SIP funds to Measure U funds in the amount of $7,500. Add funding to Measure U in the amount of $23,646 to hire a four-hour, five days per week instructional aide to support our literacy specialist working with our language learners and to support our literacy specialist during small group instruction. Increase funding from $10,000 to $11,000 for release time for teacher instructional planning. Add One Life Counseling share of cost funding of $10,000 to our 2022-2023 Measure U application. Add funds of $15,000 to allow for free of cost field trips for middle school students. Remove allocation of $20,000 for inclusive practices with SMCOE. Clifford is working internally to build capacity around this work at this time. Financial Impact: Please see the attachment for details.
