What happened

The superintendent said the district was awarded a Colorado Department of Education early literacy grant of $101,000 per year for three years. It will pay for a literacy coach and intervention for grades K-3 starting July 1.

Why it matters to families

Early reading skills predict later success. The grant adds a staff member to help young readers without using local funds.

The evidence

The June 29 minutes record the award amount and the new coach hire (Tawny Wilson).
