From Director Holly Trowbridge: “We are pleased to announce that Adair County Schools has been awarded funding through the Title IV, Part A-Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) Grant. This federal grant will strengthen educational opportunities and support for all students in our district.
During the 2025-26 school year, grant funds supported a College/Career Counselor position at Adair County High School, which proved highly beneficial to students. We are pleased to continue funding this position, as it directly supports students access to expanded career, higher education, and social-emotional learning opportunities. This initiative meets the grant’s criteria for Well-Rounded Educational Activities and Safe and Healthy Student Activities.
The remaining funds will continue to be allocated toward professional learning for teachers and staff in technological areas such as artificial intelligence, Google applications, and other instructional technologies to promote innovative, student-centered classroom practices.
These initiatives align with the grant’s requirements, which include:
At least 20% are allocated for Well-Rounded Educational Activities At least 20% are allocated for Safe and Healthy Student Activities
No more than 15% allocated for technology devices, equipment, or software
We are committed to ensuring these funds address the unique needs of our students and schools. As a valued stakeholder, your input is important in shaping how these resources are used to create a safe, engaging, and equitable learning environment.
