FEDERAL PROGRAMS USED AT THE SCHOOL Impact Aid Title Comprehensive Support and Improvement ESSR I, II, III
WHAT IS IMPACT AID? Impact Aid is a Federal education program that reimburses school districts for the lost revenue and additional costs associated with the presence of nontaxable Federal property. Because most public school districts are funded largely through local taxes and fees, and because Federal land is exempt from taxation, as are many of the businesses and facilities located on that land, districts are containing Federal property are at a financial disadvantage in funding their schools. https://oese.ed.gov/offices/office-of-formula-grants/impact-aid-program/
HOW DOES OBERON USE IMPACT AID? Oberon School District (OSD) receives Impact Aid based on the number of its students that live on Tribal Land and can identify Native American heritage. Varies with student count and how much is allocated by the Federal government. The Impact Aid that the school receives is unrestricted. It helps provide funding for the general operations of the school. i.e. Teacher/staff salaries, supplies, utilities, busing, etc. See the link below to access the districts policy on Impact Aid. https://www.oberon.k12.nd.us/page/parent-resources

Title II Funds the different professional development opportunities for teachers and staff. Title IV Used to support Socio-Emotional learning in students. Dr. Clayton Small has worked with our students this year, once in the fall and once in this spring.
WHAT IS CSI? CSI is a designation, by the state, and stands for Comprehensive Support and Improvement. Schools that receive this designation are Title I Schoolwide, have an enrollment of disadvantaged sub-groups, and test in the bottom 5% of schools in the state. Oberon received this designation in 2018 and was on a three year plan. The 2021-22 school year was a freeze status due to Covid-19. In the 2022-2023 School year, a new three-year cycle began.
HOW DOES OBERON USE CSI? In prior years, Oberon has worked with a company known as EdDirection, which provided educational coaching to teachers and staff. OSD has also used CSI funding to provide much needed updates to technology such as the Smartboads in the classrooms, and universal chromebooks. This year, CSI funds were used to provide training opportunities for school board members. It will also help the school obtain a reading curriculum designed specifically around intervention. This next year, we are planning to create a new part-time reading interventionist position through the funding.
PROGRAM SUGGESTIONS How can we make what is already offered, better? What can we do to further utilize these sources of funding?
