Prior to the regular Board of Education meeting in the Administration Building on September 8, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., a special public meeting will be held at 4:45 p.m. to seek the public’s input on using Federal funds, specifically for Title I, IDEA Part B grant, and IDEA Part B non-public funds in the St. Clairsville-Richland City School District. Title I provides intervention for elementary students in reading and mathematics. It may also be used for professional development. IDEA Part B funds help cover the excess costs of providing special education and related services to children and youth with disabilities ages 3-21. Monies may be used to provide supplementary aids and services in a regular class or other educational setting to a child with a disability to meet that child’s unique needs as identified in their Individual Education Plan. Funds may also support professional development activities for general and special education teachers, as well as families of children with disabilities.
Anybody who knows of a child or youth between the ages of 3 and 21 suspected of a disability or a handicapping condition should notify the school district. Handicapping conditions, as defined in Operating Standards for Ohio’s Schools Serving Children with Disabilities, include autism, cognitive disability, deaf-blindness, deafness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, traumatic brain injury, and visual impairment.
The St. Clairsville-Richland City School District welcomes any referrals, suggestions, or questions regarding the expenditure of these funds. If you have any questions, please call 740-695-1624.
