Use of Grant Monies. The Grant monies will be used to hire five (5) Math teachers who will be assigned based upon student enrollment numbers at the following schools within MUSD: (a) Maricopa High School; (b) Maricopa Xxxxx Middle School; and (c) Desert Winds Middle School. Rationale: Math is the subject with the lowest level of student achievement in the three identified schools.

Teachers will work entirely with students who have tested in the bottom quartile for Math.

Use of Grant Monies. The Grant monies will be used to hire a teacher whose special assignment will be to promote student attendance and success by reducing absences due to disciplinary removals from school. The teacher will be assigned to work half-time at Saddleback Elementary School and half-time at Santa Xxxx Elementary School. While working at Saddleback Elementary, the teacher will work cooperatively with the Ak-Chin Student Advisor, the Ak-Chin Truancy officer and parents to improve student behavior and academic achievement. While working at Santa Xxxx Elementary, the teacher will work closely with parents to ensure parental involvement in improving the academic achievement and behavior of all students. Rationale: In 2012-2013, there were 101 student suspensions at Saddleback Elementary School and 281 student suspensions at Santa Xxxx Elementary. At all other MUSD Elementary Schools, there were a combined total of 99 student suspensions. MUSD believes that by having a certificated teacher whose time can be devoted entirely to important collaborations with others (as described above), MUSD will experience a reduction in student suspensions and a corresponding increase in student attendance, resulting in improved academic performance for students.

All of the new assessments are scheduled to be computer based. Improved and expanded wireless technology and the availability of more computers in MUSD schools will enable MUSD to comply with State assessment requirements.
