Funded interventions include breakfast program support, instructional coaching, intervention supplies and materials, retention and recruitment bonuses, student mentoring, supplemental professional development, instructional intervention staff, social-emotional staffing, attendance support staff, and a tutoring program. As a single-building district, all Section 31a funds are allocated to Warrendale Charter Academy, with parent and community feedback gathered through fall and spring stakeholder meetings.While this letter is primarily a transparency update, it signals sustained funding and a broad mix of services that may require curriculum materials, tutoring platforms, SEL tools, assessment resources, and professional development.
