climate and culture, crucial for retaining effective educators, thereby improving their
quality and effectiveness.

innovative teaching practices, Hilight cultivates an environment of ongoing professional
growth and collaboration among educators.

elevates educator satisfaction, a factor pivotal in improving academic achievements.

Title IV-A: Safe and Supportive Schools for All

aligns with Hilight's potential to foster positive school climates. Hilight's impact on Title IV-A
priorities is evident as it:

contributes to the development of safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environments
for all students.

for addressing pandemic-related challenges. Hilight's implementation is justified under ESSER
funding as it:

well-being. Hilight's recognition and support mechanisms directly contribute to educator
morale and retention.
