**Tags:** Education, Grants & Funding


The Beverly School Committee held a CISL meeting on September 23, 2026, focusing primarily on educational programs and student engagement rather than direct procurement decisions. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the Springboard tutoring program, a free afterschool literacy initiative funded through a partnership with DESI, which provided $61,000 worth of tutoring, free books, and stipends for incentives and family workshops. The program targeted first graders at risk for reading difficulties and emphasized family engagement. Committee members discussed the program's outcomes, data tracking, and potential for continuation beyond the current funding. Additionally, the committee reviewed their annual calendar of topics, including curriculum reviews, assessment results, and policy updates, and considered forming new advisory committees related to technology use and LGBTQIA+ issues. No contract awards or procurement motions were made during this meeting, but the discussion of the Springboard program highlighted a significant vendor partnership and budget allocation for educational services.
