What this document actually says
This document certifies Reed Union School District's application for federal education funding for the 2026-27 school year. The district is applying for two federal programs: Title I, Part A (Basic Grant) for schools with high percentages of low-income students, and Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction) for teacher professional development. The district is not applying for Title III (English Learner and Immigrant support) or Title IV (Student and School Support) funding. Dr. Chris Kim, Chief Business Official, certified on June 8, 2026 that the district will follow all federal rules, has local board approval, and received input from the District English Learner Advisory Committee. The certification confirms compliance with constitutional prayer protections in schools and links to the district's Local Control and Accountability Plan originally approved September 16, 2019.
What this means for your family
This application brings federal money into the district to support students from low-income families and improve teacher training. The funding helps provide extra academic support, intervention programs, and professional development for teachers. These resources directly benefit student learning, though the district chose not to apply for English Learner or other student support grants this year.
