Land Trust Plan 2022-2023
- School Plan / Final Report
- Funds received: $356,862.16
- Funds used for: 1. Build the capacity of PLCs to target and impact graduation rates. PLCs will build this capacity by attending a PLC conference, receiving stipends for PLC work outside of contract time, including work associated with the PLC conference. 2. Examine our equitable practices to ensure all students have a greater opportunity to graduate. This will be addressed by attending the AVID conference, continuing our work with Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS), staff professional development, and providing stipends for work associated with equitable practices outside of contract time. 3. Provide comprehensive instructional coaching to build both teacher and PLC capacity to impact graduation rate.

The second additional cost is an increase in funds for teacher trainings at conferences, both for AVID and for Solution Tree\\\'s PLC Conference next June.
