New ‘Student Intervention’ Job Funded by Federal Grant
The board wants to hire a ‘Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Facilitator’ using federal Title I grant money. MTSS is a framework that allows the school to collect data on your child’s behavior and emotions, label them as needing ‘intervention,’ and provide servicesβall potentially without your specific consent for each step. This new position would manage this student surveillance and intervention system, creating a pathway for school-based mental health services that bypass parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Trustees. ‘Regarding Item 10, I demand to see the full job description for the MTSS Facilitator and a copy of the grant application. What data will be collected on students, and what are the specific parental consent requirements before any non-academic intervention is performed?’ Advise members to find board contact information on the district website.
π° Taxpayer Impact: Salary for a new administrator, funded by a federal grant with potential data-sharing mandates.
