Staff said EduCLIMBER centralizes assessment, attendance and intervention information in a “whole‑child” profile intended to be useful to teachers, school psychologists and site administrators. Presenters described the tool’s potential to streamline SST/MTSS and IEP meeting preparation, to flag early warning indicators and to enable flexible student grouping using combined assessment and attendance metrics.

District staff and IT lead Jeff said the biggest remaining obstacle is integrating certain Synergy fields into EduCLIMBER reliably. Specific problems mentioned: several demographic columns and attendance feeds were not populating in the EduCLIMBER instance; staff validated that state and local assessment data (CAST, ELPAC, FastBridge, Renaissance Star) and historical scores are present, but that attendance and some demographic fields need cleanup and an automated nightly sync.

Staff outlined a phased approach: pilot the platform this summer with Bliss programming and the district’s instructional coach (Jen Hoskins) pulling data and giving feedback, provide differentiated professional learning in fall 2025, and aim for broader site rollout during 2025–26. Trustees asked for a clear timeline, responsibilities and a “drop-dead” date to avoid ongoing delays; staff said some tasks require collaboration with Synergy vendor support and EduCLIMBER and pledged to escalate integration issues and bring a more detailed timeline to the board.

Board members emphasized the need to resolve attendance accuracy and to ensure teachers find the platform reliable and easy to use; staff said they will prioritize validating attendance and demographic mappings and will pilot with Bliss this summer to gather teacher feedback.","District staff reported progress and implementation hurdles for EduCLIMBER, the district’s new data-aggregation platform, and said they will pilot the system with summer Bliss programming while continuing work to validate attendance and demographic feeds from the Synergy student information system.",{"_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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6566167,"After-school provider Happy Hall reports expanded learning growth, 63% subsidized enrollment",3203,3489000,6692000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3206859-2adf01bad5fb1add465b51c50a355368&start=3489&end=6692","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3206859-2adf01bad5fb1add465b51c50a355368/thumbnail_3489000.jpg","/articles/6566167/Millbrae-City/San-Mateo-County/California/After-school-provider-Happy-Hall-reports-expanded-learning-growth-63-subsidized-enrollment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6566167-f60a638ab2dd12350737470ad8974f78/orig.mp4?Expires=1770999306&Signature=nCNK-HXOWu0BGwszHc8CpCDwOK43cshIdiYnl6gi~tBLYgRoCa9RWqK84mxpw-boOCn2MIycXjRsv~VKbANQEqrysNcayzLyJzmAyQLYdfN9YTa3St2JqmJJEJHtkUVx9v1pSkJ4EHl3Iwv69aedlAqzC7YJ6KEsRLpAl5m~girOEojHETy0m6QdtA1X55bGMy6jU4NdOu84qV6pyhIBC-wjMoYLDvv5WLcyXbmegOKBptdI~J-P3ipHqqBzjin1pxcj8h60-78R2JwHqrkhOybmasm1VLmWpmMZDpw69MWK35bAktP4ir3hj9eIuC1eOkZT64W-fFXfWzaDrC~WfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Happy Hall, the district’s expanded learning opportunities provider, presented site-level enrollment and evaluation data to the Millbrae City School District Board of Trustees and described plans for summer and next‑year programming.

Taylor (director of operations at Happy Hall) and other program leaders reported enrollment of 428 students across five school sites, with 268 attendees (63%) enrolled at no cost or reduced rates. The provider said the program serves about 30% of all Millbrae elementary students districtwide and employs 43 staff (including four dedicated substitutes). Site counts reported in the presentation: Green Hills (73 students; 37 no-cost/reduced), Lameda Park (143 students; 43 no-cost/reduced), Meadows (96 students; 37 no-cost/reduced), Spring Valley (89 students; 33 no-cost/reduced) and Taylor (27 students; 18 no-cost/reduced).

Happy Hall summarized family and student survey findings: parents reported confidence in safety and staff interactions and high satisfaction with activities and homework support; students reported they were having fun, learning new things and making friends. Happy Hall leaders said specific student feedback included praise for staff, good snacks and positive social opportunities; parent-written comments included appreciation for caring staff and safe supervision.

The organization described program features: dedicated on-site space, STEAM and social‑emotional learning workshops, “chill zones” for calming, use of shared facilities such as libraries and multipurpose rooms, and access to Chromebooks for homework time. Happy Hall said it coordinates monthly meetings with district staff and principals to align programming, and it will pilot enhancements this summer for Bliss and Taylor Bridge in coordination with the district’s summer offerings.

Trustees asked about staff capacity, space constraints at Lomita Park, academic versus play time in after‑school settings, and methods to improve parent survey response rates. Happy Hall leaders said they plan site-level engagement with principals (including lunches with teachers) to gather more feedback, and to explore incentives to raise parent survey response rates. Board members also encouraged increased coordination so after‑school homework support dovetails with classroom instruction and district curriculum changes.","Happy Hall presented program data showing expanded capacity across Millbrae elementary sites, demographic and participation figures, and parent/student survey results; trustees asked about space, homework supports and staff coordination.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6566171,"Board adopts McGraw Hill Reveal after two-year pilot; $456,639.12 projected 8‑year cost",1768,2716000,4484000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3206859-2adf01bad5fb1add465b51c50a355368&start=2716&end=4484","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3206859-2adf01bad5fb1add465b51c50a355368/thumbnail_2716000.jpg","/articles/6566171/Millbrae-City/San-Mateo-County/California/Board-adopts-McGraw-Hill-Reveal-after-two-year-pilot-45663912-projected-8year-cost","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6566171-be88bc3199d7512d6b98d0f6091713ff/orig.mp4?Expires=1770999306&Signature=lXK-UcqN2K2CQMmx~Bk3jBloJJ3fwzkfxrR8B1gph~3pOFgH~Q09ChF6rV0BHS~VQKzytZlYc-MJRaaCbcCBsxYYnT9VfVXWkP16Jqkpw8txyCuDEfto7wK61Ufuqt2n0gEofGxXNAr7OEwaCDXjBcVubQ~PRQ9pRBgwDw2KaEF6RlYlN6akMImcuUgtxcCkpkWZlisWHhT9sglmijJobvixO~NibDpvnrtU4bKlzGjDHf7liONO5tgvAq5O1NGB6gQ39YCETwV3aPbbLpWrW4x-qn0jWi5EGBF7aSgksj1v64uM5cXiuowXN-adqRsTNU3VMoHATGL7HCSBi-5owA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Millbrae City School District Board of Trustees voted to adopt the McGraw Hill Reveal elementary mathematics curriculum following a two‑year pilot and site-level review of alternatives.

District staff described a multi-stage adoption process that began with the 2017–18 Eureka adoption, continued through the state’s revised math framework and included an illustrative math pilot and a Reveal pilot during the 2024–25 year. The math pilot committee — composed of teachers from each elementary site — evaluated both programs on engagement, differentiation, multilingual-learner supports and assessment integration.

Spring Valley teacher and pilot presenter Jen Ryan said students and teachers found Reveal more engaging, with more digital tools, manipulatives and lesson structures that prompt mathematical discussion. Ryan summarized classroom feedback: increased engagement, more ready-made practice materials and an assessment structure with frequent “lesson checks” and unit assessments.

Natalie Butrago and other pilot participants reported similar results: students favored Reveal’s “be curious” warm-up prompts and contextual problems; teachers liked the formative assessment options and the ability to assign videos and practice online. Teachers also flagged areas needing attention, especially teacher prep time, pacing for some content, and user interface improvements for the digital platform.

Chief Business Officer Mary Paulette presented the cost estimate: an eight‑year adoption price for McGraw Hill Reveal of $456,639.12; staff said the illustrative option had an estimated cost of approximately $618,000. The recommendation to adopt McGraw Hill cited alignment to the new state math framework, materials that support equity and engagement, and a lower total cost.

Implementation planning includes a three‑hour launch professional development session on Aug. 12, grade‑level breakout time during PD, hybrid follow-up coaching (in-person and Zoom), classroom coaching, and ongoing vendor check-ins. Staff also discussed parent supports: teacher-created short videos or QR-coded lessons so families — including English learners — can follow math methods at home.

At the meeting the board voted to adopt the McGraw Hill Reveal curriculum; the motion carried.","After a two-year pilot comparing Illustrative Math and McGraw Hill Reveal, the district recommended and the board adopted McGraw Hill Reveal for elementary mathematics.

District Director of Educational Services Catherine Waslav told trustees the district’s Local Control and Accountability Plan goal for literacy is driven by “high quality literacy instruction for all students,” and outlined a set of district actions meant to lift reading proficiency, including structured literacy blocks in primary grades, professional learning about the science of reading, new phonics pilots and shifts in benchmarking tools.

Waslav said the district tested Heggerty for phonological awareness this year and will pilot Fundations by Wilson at Lameda Park next year for foundational phonics. She also described shifting from FastBridge to the DIBELS reading screening and continuing local assessments and state tests to measure growth. Waslav noted extended-learning supports including TK/K after-school help, Bliss Summer Academy and Taylor Summer Bridge.

Principals from Green Hills, Meadows, Spring Valley, Lameda Park and Taylor described site goals and actions that align with the district plan: leveled school libraries and reading buddies at Green Hills; a goal at Meadows to have at least 85% of primary students at or above benchmark and wide use of phonological-awareness routines; Spring Valley’s target to move from 63% meeting or exceeding standards to 68% by June 2025; and Taylor’s focus on one level of growth in English language arts as measured by trimester assessments.

Teachers and intervention staff were cited across sites as the primary implementers of targeted supports. Principals described use of MTSS meetings, tier 2 intervention groups, reading intervention teachers, classroom libraries and increased professional learning time so teachers can examine data and plan instruction.

Trustees commented favorably on the attention to data, the districtwide coordination and the return of physical library access and “little libraries” at campuses. Waslav and trustees also said the district plans parent- and community-facing outreach over the summer to support continued reading (for example a Millbrae Summer Reading Challenge in partnership with the Millbrae Library and IXL summer access).

The board later moved to approve the SPSAs as presented; the motion carried.

The district presentation and principals’ remarks emphasized implementation details the board asked staff to track, including the Fundations pilot at Lameda Park, DIBELS adoption timelines, and plans for parent-facing resources so families can support homework and summer reading.","The Millbrae City School District presented single plans for student achievement (SPSAs) centered on literacy instruction and assessment changes; the board voted to approve the plans.","actionData","errors"]
