Serving on the Community Council allows parents to directly influence the way LAND Trust funds are used during the school year, which can include programs, materials, and other education-based solutions.


LAND Trust

Please visit this LAND Trust Public Report page to see the dollar amount our school receives each year from the School LAND Trust program, our school's final reports from the last two years, and a copy of our school's current LAND Trust plan.

The actual, current, and expected funding history for each school can be found online using the LAND Trust Funding Report.

2024-2025

  • School Plan / Final Report
  • Funds received: 454,305.40
  • Funds used for: 1. The school will hire two instructional coaches to support improved Tier 1 instruction and student interventions. ($90,000 to cover half the salaries) 2. The school will hire an additional counselor so we can reduce the per-counselor student load so students have greater access to services available through the Counseling Center. ($90,000) 3. The school will hire a testing coordinator to spearhead planning, overseeing, and administering testing to include PSAT, WIDA, ACT, AP, and ASPIRE+. This position will take the duties away from the counselors and allow counselors more time to focus on working with students. ($57,000) 4. Provide stipends for teacher PLC teams to meet during the summer and outside of contract time to plan and evaluate curriculum and instruction to improve both Tier 1 instruction and student interventions. ($35,000) 5. Purchase Edgenuity software to run the school\'s credit recovery program so students have access to a pathway for recovering deficient credits so they can graduate. ($35,000) 6. Academic Mentors will work with students who have attendance issues to track their academic progress. The mentors will work with the school\'s most egregious non-attenders to try to get them back in school and caught up on work/credits so they can stay on track for graduation. ($60,000) 7. The school pays teachers to staff a summer credit recovery program so students can make up deficient credits and be on track to graduate. ($20,000) 8. Provide money for English class sets of novels (selected from the district\'s approved novels list) and the school library to purchase books in support of the school\'s literacy efforts which impacts student learning in all classes. ($15,000)

2023-2024

  • School Plan / Final Report
  • Funds received: $404,794.22
  • Funds used for: Provide two instructional coaches to support improved instruction and student interventions. Provide one PBIS coach to support student sense of belonging and support teacher use of incentives to get students to school and to stay at school. Hire a counselor to meet with students about their academic progress and any barriers to learning. Provide stipends to create a SIOP/ instructional yearlong cadre for teachers to implement strategies to meet at risk learners, including multi-language, special education, and struggling learners. Provide stipends for teacher teams to meet outside of contract time to plan and implement instructional and intervention strategies. Provide stipends for teacher team leaders to meet outside of contract time to create schoolwide practices to be used by all teams. Hire a testing coordinator to help oversee testing and data, allowing more time for counselors to meet with individual students and to give data to leadership teams to use to inform instruction.

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.
