During Tuesday's meeting, board members also approved a $36.5 million Black Student Achievement Plan, which will allocate:
$4.4 million for curriculum and instruction, including expanding diverse representation, inclusion of Black authors, and social justice connections;
$2.4 million for teacher professional development;
$2 million for school curriculum grants for schools to supplement their curriculum to make it more inclusive to Black students;
$2 million for community partnership to work with organizations that have demonstrated success with Black students;
$30.1 million for school climate and wellness to reduce over- identification of Black students in suspensions, discipline and other measures through targeted intervention;
$7.9 million for psychiatric social workers;
$7.6 million for counselors;
$2.9 million for school climate coaches;
$6.5 million for restorative justice advisors; and
$5.2 million for flexible climate grants.
That's nice. But who cares if gangs are literally running the school.
They might want to allocate some of that $36.5m for remedial math for the school board.
It's an indentation problem - the lines below $30.1M and below $4.4M are a breakout of the total.
$2.4M + $2M = $4.4M.
$7.9M + $7.6M + $2.9M + $6.5M + $5.2M = $30.1M.
$4.4M + $2M + $30.1M = $36.5M.
