Led by Myishing A. Cox, the district’s Federal Programs Coordinator, this annual meeting is designed to provide updates, solicit feedback, and share information about how the district utilizes federal grant funding to support student achievement and school improvement.
The agenda includes:

These federally funded programs play a vital role in enhancing educational outcomes:

- Title IV helps improve student academic achievement by strengthening school and community capacity.
“This meeting is an important opportunity for our school community to learn how federal funds are used to benefit our students, especially in schools with the greatest need,” said Ms. Cox. “We also welcome and value input from families to help guide future improvements and new initiatives.”
