Hiring additional reading and math coaches, counselors, school psychologists, and other support staff is a key strategy for meeting students’ academic and social-emotional learning needs. However, when school systems use federal funding for personnel expenses, they must have a plan in place for tracking and reporting the time and effort that employees spend on grant-funded activities to protect current and future student support funding.

Join us on Wednesday, 4/13 as Kecia Ray, Ed.D and Janet Hagood of Jefferson County Schools join UKG’s Rob Tibbs to share best practices and key strategies for completing this process successfully.

You’ll learn:

  • Critical guidelines for hiring staff using federal funding
  • Best practices for tracking grant-funded activities
  • Essential steps for meeting federal funding compliance rules
