Globe Unified District

Based on the feedback from our community, teachers, admin, and Board, we plan to provide interventions, activities, and items that will extend through the life of the grant and beyond. Attracting and retaining teachers is a major priority identified in our needs assessment so we have included retention stipends for all staff for at least the first two years of the grant. Addressing learning loss is also a priority so Friday and after school tutoring, a six-week summer program, having technology and materials for students, teachers, and families, training for teachers, as well as addressing SEL needs are all included. We also have added an additional staff member to assist with our special needs, ELL, and other students disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we have seen an uptick in the need to have both print and technology resources ready so that we can meet the needs of ALL of our students so new and additional copiers will help us meet this need. Replacing outdated facilities or equipment is a final item that will help us get a safe start and transition into the coming years.

District administration will regularly coordinate with leadership at sites to ensure that academic and social/emotional interventions, as outlined in our plan are implemented to meet the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students, and particularly those students disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including students from low-income families, students of color, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, and migratory students.
