Humboldt Unified District

Humboldt Unified School District (HUSD) will address the academic impact of unfinished learning due to COVID and the resulting closeouts through the adoption of personalized learning. We will respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students. Data will be used to assess student needs and will ensure that they are met based on where they are at with clear goals to recoup any achievement discrepancies. This will include students in all subgroups, including students from low-income families, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, and migratory students.

HUSD will also leverage funding towards developing Social & Emotional learning programs to focus on the whole child approach. Programs such as Capturing Kids' Hearts, Second Step, and the research on trauma-informed practices will provide additional support for all students. Developing these interventions will allow for a Multi-Tiered System for Supports and facilitate how best to support each student using a strength-based model.

Whether in-person learning or remote learning we will support all students, including those that are disproportionately impacted by COVID:
-Increase access to technology for students to ensure equitable learning continues, and allow teachers to utilize blended learning opportunities.
-Purchase supplemental evidence-based online programs to facilitate and fill in gaps when students are homebound.
-Increase staff and personnel to provide resources across all campuses, including Focus Zone Success Coaches and student behavior supports to develop and maximize student learning.
-Purchase instructional supplies and materials to implement evidence-based teaching practices.

Additional programming will be available for all students, courses will be offered after school and throughout the summer to accelerate and enrich the learning experience for the 21-22, 22-23, and 23-24 school years.
