Expansion Budget Requests • All are focused on accelerating the work of our strategic plan. • Limited based on current funding levels in that area and where we really see the need for the additional support. • Focus on the achievement gap, equity, and whole child work we need to attack. • Care and support for our staff and to keep a competitive edge in recruiting teachers. • Safety items to help fill the gap in capital funding but much needed in the district for school, student and staff safety. Maternity/Paternity Leave • This request will help show our support for our staff and helps mirror the benefits available in the business community. • Will help ensure CHCCS has a competitive benefit package to recruit and retain high quality teachers and staff for our schools. • Estimated cost based on current history would require $450,000 to enable us to provide a 90%-100% support package for staff on leave for maternity/paternity instances. Student Services Support Funding Creating a Comprehensive Social/Emotional programming to build a continuum of services for our youth would require - $232,000. • Students need to understand how to regulate their emotions, build positive relationships, make responsible decisions, and understand what it means to care about self and others. • Through additional financial support, Student Services will be able to create a social and emotional (SEL) district-wide program that will support the development of aforementioned skills which promotes student success. • We will use these funds to create programming that helps with trauma and socially sensitive training, restorative practices and provides the supports our students need to learn in a safe and supportive environment. Equity & Curriculum Development Core Equity and Culturally relevant literacy content training for the district - $200,000. • This work is the cornerstone of our strategic plan and efforts to ensure our district closes all achievement gaps. • Will support the CHCCS district work surrounding equity and culturally relevant curriculum, specifically literacy in the school year 2019-2020. • Also, we will be collaborating with Orange County Schools in this work so as to create the cohesive understanding surrounding equity our community expects.
