Overview: In a recent meeting, the Foley School Board announced that despite statewide federal cuts to the AmeriCorps literacy tutoring program, the district will receive an additional literacy tutor for the upcoming school year. This increase means Foley will have three tutors instead of the initially reduced number of two, a significant gain considering only two additional positions were granted across the entire state. The decision was influenced by the high performance and effectiveness of Foley’s program, which the overseeing organization, AMPACT, recognized for its strong results and impact on students.
