The presenter told the committee how the Into Math growth categories are reported (far below, below, approaching, on/above, above) and said the district ended the year with notable on-or-above rates in early grades: kindergarten on/above 91.6% (down 0.2 points), Grade 1 on/above 84.4% (down about 3.5 points), Grade 2 on/above 84.8% (down about 1.4 points) and Grade 3 on/above 88.1% (up about 5.5 points). The presenter also reported Grade 5 at 73.3% (down ~5 points), Grade 6 at 81.7% (up ~6 points), Grade 7 at 72.2% (up ~5 points), and Grade 8 at 82.1% on/above (no prior-year comparison provided for that cohort). The presenter noted a rough district-size context point that a 1.7 percentage-point change in kindergarten represents about five students out of approximately 350.

District staff described Into Math as an adaptive growth measure and said the district introduced Into Math in 02/23. They reported that Acadience (presented as a supplemental early-literacy/benchmark tool) and Into Math do not always track identically; Acadience starting points in some early grades were lower for the 2024–25 cohort compared with prior years even where Into Math growth remained steady. The presenter said the district will investigate those lower Kindergarten Acadience entry points and whether they reflect anomalies, implementation differences, or other factors.

Committee members raised concerns about the IXL diagnostic at the middle-school level, where IXL end-of-year achievement showed a decline that did not match Into Math growth trends. One committee member said parents and students report frustration with IXL scoring mechanics and potential demotivation when a single missed question can drop a student’s score substantially; the member described fatigue and disengagement as possible contributors. The presenter and members said teachers use IXL in similar ways across classrooms and that the district will dig into practice and diagnostic windows to understand the discrepancy.

Staff also noted operational context: grades 7 and up were tested online this year, and the district expects to receive preliminary state assessment extracts (PSSA and Keystone) later in June; those files require verification and the presenter said final state results will help the district connect growth measures and standardized achievement. The presenter said the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) recognizes Into Math and IXL as research-based tools in certain contexts and that the district will continue to align its intervention plans (including ATSI-related steps) with approved resources.

The committee did not take a formal vote on the assessment data but asked staff to analyze the Acadience starting-point dips, the IXL/Into Math diagnostic disconnect at middle school, and the possible role of testing fatigue in year-end diagnostics. Staff indicated they will return with deeper analysis and suggested the committee may have initial state-test indicators by the July meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board Curriculum Committee 6/9/2025","oneSentenceSummary","On June 9, 2025, Central York School District staff presented end-of-year K–8 math assessment results to the Curriculum Committee, highlighting Into Math growth measures and supplemental scores from Acadience and an IXL diagnostic.","taxTitle","Central York SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",38371,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6205795,"Central York Curriculum Committee forwards music, AP biology and English 3 maps to full board",402,310000,712000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3768522-a0ead7678400a160f5161f3d7ee1abec&start=310&end=712","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3768522-a0ead7678400a160f5161f3d7ee1abec/thumbnail_310000.jpg","/articles/6205795/Pennsylvania/Central-York-Curriculum-Committee-forwards-music-AP-biology-and-English-3-maps-to-full-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6205795-eddc7ff8c72958ca3b1cc7c8cbad6561/orig.mp4?Expires=1775613024&Signature=nocIgGpC0yS-ECWYhNC0RDt4yWnkKB2SK9GQX6dxZULDbpU2xCZEAIAhCTZQt7OBygd48fNzk1cBDW17rTsTEOKd7BMvxNX13KYilT8mJbUUR054UXhy30ldoN2sQxgWpYv2yoh3C6ZSqr226fXVr7DHWSLbTlbW5mWDqqIDWZEwAtJL90g6Jiwcrc-GQnSSOrk-fbGXxFS25wIUD8zVPvqznjPTP8ZyKs5Khv1teli6z-tpCFvBix3DuLfVIF2KdwpodLeHAZYIm9~hrKwsklaZdQHxX-ic9v8bsP-a4YrV9un06eSpCDoePCTm-ZeeeX3wu5BnzNzRpY-amcWunQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On June 9, 2025, the Central York School District Curriculum Committee reviewed and agreed to forward a set of curriculum maps covering music, an updated AP Biology map and English 3 (regular and honors) to the full school board.

The committee said the maps formalize curriculum content and expectations for multiple courses and will allow the full board to consider adoption. The music package includes advanced music theory, high school orchestra (regular and honors), middle school orchestra, music production 1 and 2, high school band (regular and honors); the honors designation was described as tied to jury performance and additional solo/individual performance requirements rather than different class periods.

Committee members emphasized the work already done by teachers to develop the maps. A committee member commented, “The kids are learning incredible things, things that were never even around when I was in school related to music.” The presenter said the honors distinction is driven chiefly by performance/jury components rather than different classroom content.

On science, the committee reviewed a revised AP Biology curriculum map that reflects changes from the College Board. The presenter noted a comprehensive redline file and described a separate “clean” map; the presenter said the AP Biology map runs roughly 92 pages in its full revised form and that most of the changes follow College Board course requirements.

For English language arts, the committee received English 3 and English 3 Honors maps. Committee members were told the two courses share overarching content but differ in selected texts, resources and expectations for rigor; the honors course advances the same anchor content to higher-level analysis and additional resources.

Committee members were also briefed on recent curriculum-writing work. The presenter reported a day-long writing “hub” at the high school where K–12 ELA and K–12 math maps, several business courses including Accounting 1 and 2 and Business Basics, and other courses were drafted by teachers. The presenter said additional music course maps remain scheduled for July.

As a formal outcome the committee agreed to forward the presented curriculum maps to the full school board for consideration; no roll-call vote or mover/second was recorded in the meeting transcript. The committee indicated it will report progress to the board at its next regular meeting and circulate the full packet as part of BoardDocs for the board’s review ahead of that meeting.

The review addressed only the materials presented in committee; the presenter and members noted that additional music maps and final drafts on other subjects will be submitted later in the summer.","The Central York School District Curriculum Committee reviewed updated curriculum maps for high school and middle school music, revised AP Biology material aligned to College Board changes, and English 3/English 3 Honors, and voted to send the maps to the full board for consideration.","actionData","errors"]
