Executive Director of Instruction and Achievement Daniel Carroll presented the updated 2021-2022 Title I Parent Involvement policy.
“We receive approximately $1.3 million each year through the Title I program, and as with all federal programs, there are long lists of requirements that go along with receiving those funds, assurances we need to make in order to fulfill our end of the bargain for these funds,” Carroll said. “Much of this is very similar to last year.”

Pulvino then reported the district has 414 students participating in its summer programs this year.
“Yes, we’re working on skills, but we’re also working on interacting with one another, learning how to work with one another once again and enjoy one another and have some fun,” Pulvino said. “We provide breakfast, transportation and lunch.”
The district also works with Oswego County Opportunities to extend the morning program into the afternoon.
