Dear Hastings Families, Educators, and Students,
As described at last night’s Board of Education meeting, we announced that we received an allocation from the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act in the amount of $257,000. One of the requirements for securing this grant is to engage in a consultation and collaboration process with a variety of stakeholders in order to gain input for how the funds might be used.
On Friday, June 4th at noon, we will be hosting a consultation and collaboration process to obtain input for use of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act Funds. This date has been selected due to the rapid turnaround time required by the State. If you are interested in participating in the consultation and collaboration process, please complete this form by this Friday, May 28th. You will notice that there are a variety of different roles outlined within the form. These roles are directly related to the stakeholder groups required by the New York State Education Department. As you complete the form, please check all that apply to you. Thank you for your support, partnership, and interest in our decision-making process.
To ensure voice, this consultation and collaboration group will not exceed 16 people. Participants will receive a notification via email with a link to participate in the process early next week.
Best regards,
Melissa Szymanski, Assistant Superintendent, Curriculum & Instruction
Maureen Caraballo, Business Official
