Griffin Foundation, Inc. The

To meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of our students, we are providing an ELA teacher, paraprofessionals, and tutors to work directly with students who were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Other intervention supports include a counselor for meeting SEL needs and contracted enrichment activities for students. The ELA teacher will work directly with students based on identified need while the para-professionals will provide both before and after school tutoring for identified students. Griffin enrolls a high number of students from low-income families and students who are racial/ethnic minority. The programs are designed to support the students who experienced negative impacts from COVID 19, particularly academic learning loss as measured by quarterly assessment data. Funds are also being used for additional staffing such as bus drivers, retention stipends, capital expenses, supplies, indirect costs, etc.
