The committee report credited Dr. Chakey with presenting achievement and growth data and said the district has shown \"significant growth and gains\" though it is \"not where we want to be,\" a point the committee chair stressed while noting continuing impacts from the pandemic. The chair said the district is focusing on connecting curriculum to equity and inclusion practices so instructional materials and classroom practices represent multiple cultures and students with disabilities.

The committee noted upcoming or required coursework changes for 2025–26, discussed new science standards described in the meeting as \"science, technology, engineering, environmental literacy, and sustainability,\" and cited \"essential practices\" focused on continuous instructional improvement, leadership empowerment, student-centered support and professional development, as explained by Dr. Threep.

The committee emphasized that those curriculum and equity efforts are intended to improve achievement for all students. There were no formal votes recorded on this committee summary during the board meeting; the report was presented as informational and the chair thanked staff who participated in the committee.

Direct quotes in the meeting included the committee chair's statement that \"The Gateway School District is privileged to be very diverse,\" and the committee's framing that curriculum plus equity practices support improved student achievement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","SBRM 2024-11-25","oneSentenceSummary","The district’s curriculum and equity committee reviewed achievement and growth data, discussed new science standards described as including science, technology, engineering, environmental literacy and sustainability, and highlighted essential instructional practices and professional development.","taxTitle","Gateway SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",38796,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6379689,"Volunteers, board members coordinate distribution of about 1,000 turkeys; schools and partners helped place donations",220,443000,663000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2135378-2726bb54359a3c30d16e1a904cfa573b&start=443&end=663","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2135378-2726bb54359a3c30d16e1a904cfa573b/thumbnail_443000.jpg","/articles/6379689/Pennsylvania/Volunteers-board-members-coordinate-distribution-of-about-1000-turkeys-schools-and-partners-helped-place-donations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6379689-aeed3c7144b31578ec9977566704f08c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149746&Signature=ZbZtRCvN1e2Nm0Z9e~IMKv6YAOxOVGPW32b7bzNs7m7qmBxFgzVOC-8X2W2O2Xrp4Al2~E1hSv-PhVJRMqZpoDZl1PMOW2VF2QrwvKZmVDMhHATokjqcav-XAEv0xTtWtNu2fUdsnnp2lu3P76CUA7kCOllzDPU4LxruQEQTBmOtN0hcwWHXZATHGj9pG7LSeD6FZVbvDGqITlIjj9MICnexKkcyzmimBe1zEu-g~WcF7Gu0Q4TBqR9aoiTNjifv7Hx4MZ7K-Gwn~UacegjSRbpKE421txyz7YZttcoxDRBu5rc2DOW3hcMvGbkF43UN~3EIA0gQxoGAz2Ro174fEw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members and community volunteers reported distributing approximately 1,000 donated turkeys for Thanksgiving, with organizers saying about 30 birds remained after distribution through school and church partners.

A board member who reported on the effort described coordinating with Val and Bell and with local churches and school social workers to handle storage and distribution. The board member said the district’s walk-in freezer was used so the turkeys would not be left in trucks and that an architect was not involved in this topic. \"You can't let them just sit in a truck, they have to be refrigerated,\" the speaker said while describing logistics.

The report credited Val and Miss Hoepner for helping organize the distributions and credited Officer Heath and local elementary schools for serving as distribution sites; one local partner — identified in the meeting as Jaden's (a local donor/partner) — also provided support. The speaker said two distribution events were held and that social workers and school principals helped match donations to families in need. The Rotary was mentioned as providing 63 jackets earlier in the school year.

Board members emphasized the ongoing community need and encouraged coordination with established programs such as Angel Tree and Toys for Tots for seasonal toy donations. One board member suggested partnering with school nurses and emergency departments to place small toys where children waiting during medical visits could receive them.

The discussion was a board update and did not include motions or formal votes.","Board members and volunteers at Gateway SD reported distributing about 1,000 donated turkeys to local families; organizers said about 30 remained and that schools, social workers and churches helped complete distribution.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6379696,"Gateway SD board approves minutes, financial reports and grants for University Park vestibule and counselor",196,88000,284000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2135378-2726bb54359a3c30d16e1a904cfa573b&start=88&end=284","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2135378-2726bb54359a3c30d16e1a904cfa573b/thumbnail_88000.jpg","/articles/6379696/Pennsylvania/Gateway-SD-board-approves-minutes-financial-reports-and-grants-for-University-Park-vestibule-and-counselor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6379696-7bc489c9cdc532204d94378b5812ac1c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149746&Signature=cRkNiW408ys~LaPwjdV6VihB7xvXJfVz6BdtDs033Sx4gCgLz~b-A8WFkh~gNU2jtZmAZIEiQcJEFwL8ndqzWCPRNScdr8f~UNzVewXTXVVDEso9ryvJShzb17HlQIsx32V2AHy63nnL~nnacYjfLgK2yqQp1hy6hMsg9ulXG~Me--AHyZcO-q1gQjjgGnXTP5UO9ZybHcUbaLb8fFrt16SJHm294-gLrFd6mes4zMFEr1c4~567h~e-G1VWkf1gaYmYFvvK6GPGc7U-N5thOOvxeC25Z5NfqZJVVZrVev20uoUHMntaKQOU9QKLY-CRid8zb2JObNuD2hLzZh3oxA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Gateway School District board on Monday, Nov. 25, approved board minutes and the district financial reports and accepted two grants, including a $165,000 PCCD award to fund a security vestibule and a behavior counselor at University Park.
