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.

Overview: During a recent St. Cloud School Board meeting, the primary focus was on the district’s budgetary challenges, driven largely by proposed changes in state funding. Superintendent Laurie Putnam presented a detailed overview of the potential financial impact for the 2025-26 school year. A key issue discussed was the projected reduction in compensatory revenue, estimated at $485,000 under the current proposal, which threatens staffing for roles like interventionists and multilingual teachers. This decrease is part of a broader anticipated shortfall, including the expiration of $370,000 in one-time literacy aid and $250,000 in unfunded unemployment insurance costs.
