Tucson International Academy, Inc.
We follow CDC Guidance for reopening schools to operate continuously and safely for in-person learning. Our funds are being used to ensure the safety of our students through classroom time. 20% of our required set-aside funds are being spent buying curriculum resources, training for our staff to provide instruction for our teachers to use with our students, and extra instructional time for students via free before and/or afterschool tutoring. Our targeted tutoring will focus on grade level standards for all students (especially vulnerable populations including but not limited to students from low income families, English Learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, and migratory students) with a complete academic focus to address learning loss and gaps in learning. After school includes scheduled time for clubs, homework time, and a focus on reading and math as the primary outcomes. We are hiring a school counselor to support student SEL needs. Additionally, we will offer free summer school. Summer school focuses on reading and math and is taught by grade level teachers. Both interventions have an assessment as a pre and post evaluation to determine individual student growth.
