q2 · i? · qualitative · r1

Conclusion section, based on interviews and document review: reduced 2024 grant funding led to personnel cuts including the school therapist and anticipated program reductions, despite $36.9 million allocated statewide since 2019 and 90 schools funded or designated for 2024–25.

"One factor that will strongly impact continued progress in Roswell is the availability and consistency of community schools funding. For example, reduced grant funding in the 2024 award cycle means that school and district staff have had to cut personnel—including the school therapist—and prepare for possible reductions in programming (e.g., after-school activities)."
