Sarah said the district expects the final fiscal position to reflect a planned deficit that was included in the budget. She warned that the end‑of‑year payroll — which covers roughly five pay periods for teachers over the summer — creates a large cash outflow: the district’s average payroll is about $1.4 million every two weeks and last year’s comparable summer payroll was about $9.1 million. Factoring those payments, she said the district is likely to finish “approximately where we were budgeted” for the planned deficit.

Sarah reported the ledger currently showed a deficit of $328,000 (the speaker corrected an earlier verbal slip from “$328,000,000”), and the district expected remaining revenues to come in during the final two months of the fiscal year. No formal budget amendment was proposed; the presentation was informational and staff said they will continue monthly reporting and finalize the year‑end close.

Board members asked clarifying questions and the superintendent and finance staff said they will continue to monitor cash flow and the final payroll run at year‑end.","District finance staff reported revenues at about 80.6% and expenditures about 80% of the fiscal year budget through April, noted a large year‑end payroll outlay, and said the district expects to finish near its planned deficit.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6234812,"Marshall Public Schools outlines READ Act rollout, screening and curriculum changes",838,647000,1485000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3409633-b58a4f55d8ab42205abd75b71e673d1d&start=647&end=1485","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3409633-b58a4f55d8ab42205abd75b71e673d1d/thumbnail_647000.jpg","/articles/6234812/Minnesota/Marshall-Public-Schools-outlines-READ-Act-rollout-screening-and-curriculum-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234812-0936fdb9c1946a8b862d4315f875d307/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136171&Signature=YAFOUPBmzjZr19I9RWKqntU4ZBUkVc2VmeLimlciSuw7NAhcpWWiMwpIx0QzUYFzRB7sf2H7ubAj-jUxhVKmqwTYkr3jrgTh8ug4xQA4uXD61Pz320tMj35QpN11iVjzGqXgmyQw5dA7XGW3MX0oocnK0np6DZJ9dXVl9Mf~pai5rCbi7FViUGygtA6pE5lRB~22Wp~Ru~rmygULGwupsZfVQQMuLbTDZ1Siw58PyIYnZx83E2boyeFGqzpfI-MZntT9i87mIWnkkT2dv1cTkJp4R1DU-4y51XfsKMmP3ZR~bi7P4eO39J~bBVEYKh988y5t7k72QifhSC5rhYMr5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Beth, curriculum director for Marshall Public Schools, gave an update on the district’s implementation of the state READ Act and related structured‑literacy work, saying staff completed required training and the district has set screening and curriculum plans for next school year.

The READ Act matters because it requires annual demonstration that students are reading at grade level; the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) has tied training, screening and adoption of evidence‑based curricular materials to that requirement. Beth said 106 teachers and five administrators completed the phase‑1 training this year and that phase‑2 training was delayed by MDE until the 2026–27 school year.

Beth said the district has been using DIBELS as an approved K–3 screener for several years and extended use of that screener through fourth grade. For students in grades 4–12 who are not demonstrating mastery of foundational reading skills, she said MDE’s recent guidance includes a single approved screener — CAPti Read Basics — which the district will use beginning next school year to “screen, identify and intervene.” Beth said the state’s standard is now that “every student [be] reading at grade level every year,” a change from the previous third‑grade benchmark.

On curricular resources, Beth said the district has reviewed MDE/Cary (transcript: Carryall) Institute alignment lists and completed K–12 pilots. She listed planned adoptions and pilots: Parkside will continue with Hegarty (phonics) and begin a writing curriculum piloted this year; Southview will continue with Really Great Reading for phonics in second grade and use Benchmark Advance in grades 2–4 after teacher pilots; middle and high school piloting and final decisions are still in progress while the district awaits additional MDE guidance on secondary resources.

Beth shared district assessment results to date, noting kindergarten DIBELS benchmark rates rose from 26% at the start of the year to 82% at the end, and first grade rose from 34% to 77%. She attributed the growth to “appropriate tier 1 curriculum” plus intervention.

District directions and next steps included: offering a shortened structured‑literacy training for non‑certified staff during next year’s workshop week (provided by Southwest West Central Cooperative), onboarding new hires who lack prior approved training, continuing screening and intervention work, and finalizing secondary curriculum choices when MDE releases further guidance. Beth also reported that phase‑2 READ Act training (5–12 teachers, instructional support and curriculum directors) is now scheduled for 2026–27 per MDE’s update.

Jeremy, superintendent, and other board members thanked staff for completing the work and noted the state timelines and limited choice of approved tools had required the district to adapt. No formal board action was taken during Beth’s presentation; the update was informational.","District staff reported completion of READ Act training for most staff, adoption of state-approved screeners for older students, continuing use of DIBELS at lower grades and planned curricular adoptions after pilot work.","actionData","errors"]
