\"We had a successful class of CNAs this semester. We had 16 out of 16 to pass the CNA certification,\" Superintendent Williams said during the recognitions portion of the agenda.

The board called several student names for recognition and invited parents and staff to stand. CNA students named during the meeting included Andrea Gassett, Autumn Klinner, Madison Moon, Jay Edmondson, Patience Herndon, Samaya Franger and Taylor Lyons. District staff also recognized the CNA instructors who supported the program.

Why it matters: the CNA program is a career and technical education pathway for students seeking healthcare credentials; a 100% pass rate indicates successful program instruction for the reported cohort.

The board applauded the students and instructors; photos were taken and the district indicated it will continue to promote CTE pathways that lead to industry certifications.","District leaders recognized graduating CNA students and listed individual student names after announcing that the program's cohort had a 100% pass rate on certification tests.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6315548,"District launches parent forum and a 'Lunch Buddy' volunteer mentoring pilot",339,2015000,2354000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2379029-f8b9c50454bba799b0183f97443a4a85&start=2015&end=2354","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2379029-f8b9c50454bba799b0183f97443a4a85/thumbnail_2015000.jpg","/articles/6315548/South-Carolina/District-launches-parent-forum-and-a-Lunch-Buddy-volunteer-mentoring-pilot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6315548-9519fb9a0351632745e70c0f14fd0f25/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145991&Signature=GZdQngspldyYOgMYRMkqYYuUBAY8A3dreYVPQh8QNgidq-sz4Z4gvB2Ml2-tMh9bUyEkG3~8QgH8H5VcvhBJRofV~brv8LO6BHAepX23o~KKJDRqBdXYPGtYPuiohDBaSEvUo95qTG9mdz29bJxVt439dE3q-AhsrXjNXwpJoqDA48Xm5oEPsClg26SulzgeYLoo5tY7~hB75zXIlH4f-JdJx2NRm6Zy6qfP39rfO1WA9zdUWNjlc1nY4J-OYUKsyv4gio9veBBI2k1cJ~5~KJLf5AO45FDfYlyzEtgX6r3TWvmekShLHS8qSPM4HLu6d7Hv-57xdZLYWKbRw0dj0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carlton County School District announced a newly formed parent forum and a community \"Lunch Buddy\" mentoring pilot during Tuesday's board meeting.

Tati Shulidly, identified at the meeting as a member of the parent forum, told the board the group's purpose is \"to build a stronger community.\" She said the forum will provide an ongoing, informal space for parents, caregivers, teachers, administrators and community organizations to share ideas and improve communication between schools and families. \"This parent forum ... gives everybody a seat at the table,\" Shulidly said.

The forum's stated rules will keep discussions general; presenters asked members not to raise concerns involving named students or staff in the public forum so privacy issues are handled through administration. Shulidly said parents can sign up through school front offices or by calling the district office and asking for Angela Green.

As an early initiative, the forum will pilot the Covington County School \"Lunch Buddy\" program. Shulidly said the mentoring program \"gives the community the opportunity to help mentor a student. Just give a little bit of your time. It can be 30 minutes to just sit with them at lunch, talk with them.\" Volunteers will go through the district's standard volunteer clearance process and complete a short questionnaire to match mentors to mentees.

Why it matters: the forum and the Lunch Buddy program are intended to increase parent engagement and provide low-barrier mentoring opportunities for students.

Board members thanked the presenters and encouraged parent participation; district staff said information about meetings and sign-up will be published on school webpages and available at school front desks.","The district described a new parent forum intended to increase parent-school communication and announced a Lunch Buddy volunteer mentoring program; sign-up and vetting will be handled through school offices and the district.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6315553,"High school details spring instructional supports, clarifies purpose of predictive benchmarks",1154,2630000,3784000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2379029-f8b9c50454bba799b0183f97443a4a85&start=2630&end=3784","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2379029-f8b9c50454bba799b0183f97443a4a85/thumbnail_2630000.jpg","/articles/6315553/South-Carolina/High-school-details-spring-instructional-supports-clarifies-purpose-of-predictive-benchmarks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6315553-e8022f24dc7b64662044ef3e98b127d8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145991&Signature=GG2LCV8k7CZ6fuqLUsafczCgBQAJBA1np~T~2M1KZBb9uc3qfqet2n5yeeTkhhiB4GBayx0bATQp65TDKUK716sxsX4pb0MYnO12rk782tddgU8lT9o5LWwsoDssW7xdhS~cYC-EvjEMt5hN4B6TBw7zKvHl5Zo-sPxItDrwIAw8thbc8xVm3jp14aWyiVxekN3ssaok2HROQNO73QwgGyLgeWCi6Fw6mVOS0U3iCWuBJUd2VgSRw-5FSrgyO6sj5jaSeNBFmEBmo3xGMkOHNiNv-q5xiBi0kvDNX0rEWcTCipW9linkTBQWSdTU8pqVO7tm-SKlTs18CXlDpPPHYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carlton County High School presented the district board Tuesday on plans for spring instructional supports and how predictive benchmarks will be used ahead of end-of-course testing.

The presentation, led by Lydia Culler, instructional facilitator at Carlton County High School, outlined coaching cycles, peer learning walks, weekly professional learning communities (PLCs) and a guaranteed viable curriculum (GVC) that staff say will be used to target standards and remediate gaps. \"We have 5 broad outliers that I wanted to specify for you, and they include our instructional learning walks, instructional coaching, professional development sessions, and weekly PLC meetings and GDC revisions,\" Culler told the board.

Why it matters: the district uses benchmark data to inform instruction and to identify weaknesses before state end-of-course reporting. Culler said the predictive benchmarks purchased by the district are specific to the end-of-course (EOC) programs and are intended to forecast likely student performance so teachers can adjust instruction.

Culler described a multi-pronged approach. Instructional learning walks let teacher teams observe veteran colleagues and discuss takeaways; instructional coaching offers one-on-one cycles guided by observations and professional development; and PLCs provide weekly team time for common course work and data review. The district's \"GDC\" (guaranteed viable curriculum) was described as a living document that aligns pacing guides, assessments and state blueprints.

On benchmarks and test preparation, Culler said the district uses a mix of common formative and summative assessments across all courses and that the predictive benchmark product is used for EOC courses only. \"The predictive assessment benchmarks ... are only specifically purchased for our EMC courses. The reason being is because that's where we are reported off in the state report card,\" she said, adding the benchmarks are cumulative and intended to predict spring performance so teachers can reteach or enrich where needed.

Culler also explained the district's data-analysis protocol: teams disaggregate results by grade bands and by letter-grade equivalents, identify trends and select reteaching or intervention strategies, then measure subsequent growth. \"We then identify what weaknesses are addressed, and then we identify any trends across the board ... and as a team, decide on what ways to reteach,\" she said.

Board members asked clarifying questions about common planning time and whether teaching to the test was a concern. Culler said only end-of-course classes have weekly common planning and reiterated that the assessments are standards-focused tools, not state tests. \"So the only courses that actually have common planning are our end of course classes. So those 4 4 sections have common planning and they meet weekly,\" she said.

The board thanked Culler and district staff for the detailed explanation and for outlining how professional development and coaching tie to the benchmarks and classroom practice. The presentation will inform the board's work on curriculum and accountability this spring.","Carlton County High School staff told the board Tuesday that a mix of instructional coaching, weekly PLCs and predictive benchmarks will guide spring end-of-course (EOC) support; presenters said the benchmarks are predictive tools, not state tests.","actionData","errors"]
