Chiaclarity cautioned that the most recent spending data available to the business office were from fiscal year 2021 and therefore older than the assessment data she presented. Using those figures as context, the district reported an average secondary spending level of roughly $13,663 to $13,967 per pupil when combining local and district-wide allocations; federal per‑pupil spending for secondary sites averaged about $304 in that dataset. Building budgets are distributed on a per‑pupil basis with a free‑and‑reduced adjustment ranging from 10% to 35% and specific per‑pupil supplements: $164 per middle‑school pupil and $2.71 per high‑school pupil as described in the presentation.

The secondary director’s budget covers items outside curriculum adoption, including textbook purchases between adoption cycles, online subscriptions, equipment, professional development, multilingual-learner supports (translation/interpretation and test coordination), AVID program fees and tutor salaries, Project Lead The Way fees for high‑school engineering courses, early‑college tuition/consortium fees and music/physical‑education equipment replacement. Chiaclarity said the district reduced the AVID travel budget by $50,000 and shifted to local training, contributing to a reported 6.19% reduction in the secondary programming total to about $854,000 from the prior year (figure cited for that line item).

The district also collects student fees: $20 per middle-school student and $40 per high‑school student, with fee waivers available for students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Chiaclarity said last year building budgets totaled $1,049,423 in collected spending for site allocations and the district collected $88,823 in fees; she emphasized these figures referenced 2021 data and the business office intends to provide more recent figures in future updates.

Chiaclarity asked the board to sustain funding and staff compensation as the district implements the instructional framework and new curriculum adoptions; she also raised transportation for off‑site opportunities as a barrier that may require local advocacy or funding.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Superintendent Report on Secondary Results | 1/27/25 School Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Dr. Sarah Chiaclarity summarized older (2021) per‑pupil spending data, described components of the secondary director budget and noted a $50,000 AVID reduction that reduced the secondary program budget about 6.19% from the prior year.","taxTitle","Sun Prairie Area School District, School Districts, Wisconsin","taxId",38382,"location","Wisconsin","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},6359607,"Sun Prairie outlines restorative-practices expansion and role of coaches as discipline disparities draw focus",1116,6552000,7668000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2176355-be4b5079292b2141111737b6db147170&start=6552&end=7668","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2176355-be4b5079292b2141111737b6db147170/thumbnail_6552000.jpg","/articles/6359607/Wisconsin/Sun-Prairie-outlines-restorative-practices-expansion-and-role-of-coaches-as-discipline-disparities-draw-focus","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6359607-790ada578c7cff72c411c4ef906dfc6d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771014627&Signature=P6jjWV9yZjQq9gTPDFP2AT1f4L3j1xtnC89P9EAUVCYMj3ORNWJb1Nbvt~fNlyfREfsLjA00gznF6I2X~Anb1Sw8g3rgOqAX9qRCoZLR1Kr1GH1OKgB4m8k72eBKrb54BoSm9L5lQkokQFLF6XodEPryoqMBE8MkKb371JlGBiHREJxL3pqUlHbZ3y5QZHbKZTxByDdmPJcZQ8sxz7VuAVvo3AJB2G88CASU~JoZ8tR1VACFN~bWILj5lz9fHVi6~mhHOFTQOjGKh8mT64HNT7XpWlbDBCmUwGweTcoqboo1HkBSmSyhMt3GtCoPJKjz1QmGgv8ZdxF8fKcfNkYFNw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Jan. 27 Sun Prairie Area School District board meeting, Dr. Sarah Chiaclarity described the district’s expanding restorative-practices program and presented behavioral data showing disproportionate exclusionary discipline for some student groups.

Chiaclarity said the district follows a tiered restorative approach that pairs universal social‑emotional learning with supplemental restorative interventions and individualized reentry supports for students who have experienced exclusionary discipline. \"Restorative justice is a holistic approach to school culture, not just a discipline system,\" she said, explaining the district partners with Restorative Justice in Education and trains staff in community‑building circles, restorative conversations and conflict-resolution strategies.

The district has repurposed staff time to create a 1.0 full‑time equivalent restorative-practices coach position at each middle school and one at each comprehensive high school; Prairie Phoenix Academy’s school social worker performs the role there, Chiaclarity said. Middle schools began implementation in 2022–23 (year three of work), and high schools began last year (year two). The coaches facilitate proactive community-building, coach staff and consult on responsive reentry processes after exclusionary incidents.

Chiaclarity presented behavior data through November 2024 showing that of 208 recorded suspensions in the reporting window, 55% involved Black students and 73% involved economically disadvantaged students. She cited broad improvements in some middle‑school sites — for example, Prairie View cut suspensions nearly in half since last year — while noting increases at other sites, including a six‑fold increase in out‑of‑school suspensions at Sun Prairie East in the same comparison period.

The district tracks restorative-practices usage as a separate documentation stream alongside traditional referrals. Chiaclarity said the data show Black students, students with disabilities and low‑socioeconomic students are among those who benefit most from restorative interventions relative to the general population. She emphasized that district staff use a range of classroom‑level steps (warm demanders, reteach/remind, scripted reflection forms) before formal referrals and that formal referrals are reserved for incidents identified in the district behavior matrix (for example, serious violence or substance use).

Chiaclarity framed restorative practices as a multi‑year effort tied to instructional and equity goals and said alignment is needed between the behavior matrix, the student information system (Infinite Campus), and data-visualization platforms (EduClimber/NextPath) to capture restorative work consistently.","District leaders described a tiered restorative-practices plan, dedicated restorative-practices coaches at each secondary building, and data showing disproportionate suspensions for Black and economically disadvantaged students.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6359612,"Sun Prairie secondary report: state ratings and assessment scores improve, gaps persist",0,1014000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2176355-be4b5079292b2141111737b6db147170&start=1014&end=1014","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2176355-be4b5079292b2141111737b6db147170/thumbnail_1014000.jpg","/articles/6359612/Wisconsin/Sun-Prairie-secondary-report-state-ratings-and-assessment-scores-improve-gaps-persist","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6359612-2820c4457aeead931ee8dca1601e9a54/orig.mp4?Expires=1771014627&Signature=HMZe1UDm8JUG~e55tED68P4LpOm0dhBSg-JyI6bNTuK3DCG4my~N51iphFb87czIOkN3uFjzdLAqPsH8c2fhVPQ5idi0GZ3Sm3EA7FIHZddmTtDTK783OoGgf7IfD2eYZYeJv7ZO3fuTG6eFPh2iIl6rnYG4qkLa1kF1UU~Pkcqqan4r7by3p-d4XcO6GrfBXDLlsyF~NU8b1aqMKdUTaOWbrS6C2NxNXTJKe3nonkMeOhZcyVXVvgiUe8~kf2rUjLP2VXNIapywvZsbWvtOD4xGd18Yfl-15h1c~1p-u79MrRayKZHn0dubQoNxtP8gWfgJLINXcqJTwvWpQH7q9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dr. Sarah Chiaclarity, director of secondary for teaching, learning and equity for the Sun Prairie Area School District, told the board on Jan. 27 that state report-card scores and internal assessment measures for the district’s middle and high schools have risen in 2023–24 but key demographic groups remain behind.

Chiaclarity said the district’s newly configured secondary schools posted higher ratings than in 2022–23 where ratings existed, with Sun Prairie East and Sun Prairie West both “exceeding expectations” on the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction report card. Central Heights and other recently reconfigured sites moved to ratings that meet expectations. Prairie View Middle School was identified for targeted supports and interventions for specific student groups.

The presentation summarized multiple data sources the district uses, including AIMSwebPlus and the ACT suite, and compared local trends with state and peer-district benchmarks. At the middle-school level the district reported 72.5% of students meeting or exceeding benchmark on the fall AIMSwebPlus reading screener; for 8th grade specifically that figure was 72.2% in the fall. Chiaclarity noted steady gains across six assessment windows, including an increase for middle-school reading from 50.9% to 60.3% meeting or exceeding benchmarks across the two most recent school years.

High-school indicators also improved in several measures. The district reported 52.5% of 9th–11th graders meeting the college-readiness benchmark in reading on fall assessments for 2024 (up from about 45% the prior year) and stronger preACT secure results relative to the statewide average for 9th– and 10th‑grade spring testing. On the ACT (11th grade) the district’s reading scores were near the top of the district-comparable group and the three‑year averages placed the district among the higher performers of the 11 states that administer the ACT statewide.

Despite the overall improvements, disaggregated data showed persistent and sometimes widening gaps. Chiaclarity identified Black students, students with disabilities and multilingual learners as groups with the largest shortfalls in both literacy and numeracy measures. For example, some middle‑school subgroups scored as low as the low‑30s percent meeting benchmark while district averages were in the 60s or 70s on certain screeners. The district’s accountability reporting also shows Prairie View’s Black student group and students with disabilities were within the statewide bottom 10% group that triggers targeted supports.

Chiaclarity framed these findings as the basis for site-level problems of practice and district theories of action that focus on implementing the instructional framework with fidelity, strengthening coaching and data systems, and targeting interventions to close the gaps.

The presentation concluded with a schedule for follow-up updates; Chiaclarity said the district will revisit secondary results on April 28 and again on July 28. She closed by thanking district leaders and staff and noting the data reported were current through November 2024.","At a Jan. 27 presentation to the Sun Prairie Area School District Board of Education, Dr. Sarah Chiaclarity reported improved state report-card scores and assessment gains across most secondary sites but highlighted persistent achievement gaps for Black students, students with disabilities and multilingual learners.","actionData","errors"]
