Instructional Support

Leveled Readers
Allows content delivery at appropriate reading levels.

science.

Summer Enrichment Academy
Summer enrichment goes beyond the basic skills and
provides opportunities for further exploration in content
and creative areas.

Library Circulation Conversion
The current circulation and cataloging is approximately
15 years old. This system would upgrade to a web
based system allowing access to over 8 million cataloged
records for efficient management of library materials.

Instructional Support, continued...

Library materials
These materials were selected after media specialists examined areas
of greatest demand by teachers and students. Materials were geared
toward those that support SOL content.

Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS)
The PBIS approach is designed to positively affect student behavior
and the students’ quality of life through a comprehensive look at
changing all aspects of the situation and environment that contribute to
undesirable behavior.

PE and ESL materials
Our fitness testing continues to show weaknesses in upper body
strength and aerobic capacity. Therefore, equipment will be purchased
to provide students the opportunity to develop upper body strength in a
safe environment including climbing ropes, walls and mats.
Approximately $381,550


Professional Development

Speakers, content specific materials
Requested items support the three domains of our Professional
Development Framework (Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment
and Data Analysis; Leadership; and Equity and Diversity)
professional development opportunities must reflect learning
styles and time constraints of all stakeholders and be
embedded through varied structures, such as meetings,
professional learning communities, classes, curriculum
institutes, book talks, and conferences.
