As part of the American Rescue Plan, Coshocton City Schools may be awarded approximately $5.9 million. We have made a tentative plan for the spending of these funds. Part of our process is to ask for feedback from our community for the use of these funds. We ask that you take a few minutes to provide us with some feedback on our current plan.

The following is our current plan we would like to propose to the state that stays within the guidelines of the allowable uses for the funds:

The first thing that is required with the funds is that we set aside 20%, or roughly $1.2 million dollars for extending learning. We plan on using these funds to provide additional summer school opportunities in the future, after school tutoring and activities, and other resources to help support our students.

With the current state funding that we receive, if the district were to maintain all of the staff, programs and supports that were in place last year, we would be deficit spending every year resulting in a negative cash balance in the 2024-25 school year. We propose to use some of these funds to help offset that deficit spending. This will allow us to maintain the current staff salaries and benefits.

We want to recognize all of the extra work that the pandemic has created for our teachers and provide a stipend to all staff members for their efforts. In addition, we have been able to hire some new staff members to help lower class sizes and add additional supports for our students. We also want to increase the amount of pay for substitutes that work in our schools. This would all cost approximately $1.9 million dollars.

With previous ESSER funds, we began updating our HVAC system and roof at the high school. We also started remodeling part of the high school to add a Health Clinic. We need to do some additional items on these projects and in addition we would like to do some updates to the tennis courts and track to provide updated outdoor areas for our students. We would like to propose using approximately $700,000 to continue updating the HVAC system at the high school, make roof repairs, and continue adding the Health Clinic.

We anticipate needing to spend approximately $76,000 on cleaning and safety supplies and approximately $143,000 for online programs and technology support for the next two years.

Please provide any feedback below. If there are any questions you do not want to answer, just reply "no."
