Fentress County Schools Needs Assessment
This Needs Assessment for ESSER 3.0 funds summarizes key elements for effective strategic planning and resource allocation. It identifies areas needing reinforcement as a result of the pandemic, with key priorities in studies (foundational literacy, interventions for diverse populations, STEM), student preparation (summer learning camps, math intervention, vertical alignment for middle to high school transitions, student support counselors), educators (virtual teachers, substitute assistance, professional development like Reading 360 Course), and fundamental elements (HVAC/flooring, doors and windows, additional CTE classrooms). The assessment aligns with the mission to empower students for their future by setting high expectations and achieving excellence.
