    Final Report Summary 2023-24

    During the 2023-2024 school year we received approximately $94,625 from School Trust Lands and carried over $11,481.00 from the prior year. Our Community Council met to set the following funding priorities to support one main goal. The goal; 85% of students will show typical and above average progress in literacy with 50 % MGP in literacy, math, and science was addressed by using $97,757.00 to hire and retain certified staff and part time Reading Para Professionals to support our targeted reading and writing goals in our school’s WIN Intervention program. We also used $18,250.00 to purchase software licenses and curriculum to assist instruction and enhance student learning.  If you have any questions about our Community Council and how funds are appropriated and used for Little Valley Elementary, please contact any of the members on the Community Council. As always, any parent is invited, and encouraged, to be a part of the Community Council meetings.

      FYI

      Our School Community Council is primarily responsible for the creation of our School LAND Trust Plan. This plan is created annually by analyzing our school testing data to determine the greatest academic need. The money our school receives from the School LAND Trust fund is allocated according to our plan. Over the years our school has purchased technology to support student learning, books for our leveled library, math manipulatives, science materials, and we’ve been able to hire additional personnel to support targeted learning in small groups. Our school is grateful for the School LAND Trust program and the opportunity we have as a school to allocate the funds to support our targeted and specific needs. The Council assists with school improvement, and make decisions on how to best spend the Trust LANDS funding. More information regarding the work of the Council and the current plan can be found by visiting the School LAND Trust Website: School Land Trust
