Each position will not exceed 120 days of a 240 day annual calendar, and the salaries will be of no cost to the district's general fund. The elementary instructional coach will be funded via district Title I funds and the middle/high school instructional coach and will be funded through district Title II funds.

This program has us match 25% of the budgeted amount which is $650 per additional student, then OVR allows us to ask for reimbursement up to a maximum of $5200 per student.
