Marty told the board that RSP’s analysis would include five-year enrollment projections, on-the-ground building capacities, boundary options and modeling of how proposed nearby development could affect student counts. “If we are looking at a bond issue, dollars 30 or 40,000,000 down the road, having the very accurate information and projections that’s done with their methodology would be extremely important to be able to communicate to the public,” Marty said.

Marty said the firm would analyze out-of-district enrollments and surrounding-area development and that, if approved, he expected the study to be ready by Aug. 1 (a 30–60 day timeline was discussed). He told the board the work would be funded from the facilities budget/capital outlay.

Board members asked whether local volunteers or community expertise could substitute for a paid study; Marty and other board members who had used RSP said the firm provides specialized modeling, demographic and birth-rate analysis and boundary-visualization tools that most volunteer efforts could not match.

After discussion, the board moved and recorded a vote on the agreement. The board then proceeded to the next agenda item, indicating the item concluded with board approval and that RSP would begin work pending contract execution. The district noted it would provide RSP’s product examples and prior work to any board members who requested them.

Marty described the study’s deliverables as a five-year projection, capacity analysis, student-yield estimates by housing type and recommendations for facility priorities based on modeled growth scenarios. The study will also include analysis of surrounding jurisdictions and likely out-of-district application rates so the district can better plan for potential development and RHID (Redevelopment Housing Improvement District) proposals nearby.

Administrators said the information would be used to refine any future bond decisions and to inform public communications about capacity needs; funding for the contract will come from the facilities budget.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","USD 469 Jun 9 2025 Board of Education Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The board agreed to hire RSP and Associates to produce enrollment projections and a capacity study for $19,500; administrators said the study will support facility planning, boundary options and any future bond planning and can be completed in roughly 30–60 days.","taxTitle","Lansing, School Boards, Kansas","taxId",70182,"location","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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6203254,"Lansing middle school outlines professional learning communities, data-driven common assessments",1005,2340000,3345000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3783586-e013f54b4b7c75a0dd84a5be62585573&start=2340&end=3345","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3783586-e013f54b4b7c75a0dd84a5be62585573/thumbnail_2340000.jpg","/articles/6203254/Lansing/School-Boards/Kansas/Lansing-middle-school-outlines-professional-learning-communities-data-driven-common-assessments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6203254-d6faf7a22a77720568b454f77409d27a/orig.mp4?Expires=1776202292&Signature=Ek5q6OJtLY2WR8PaJyfVAm0L1AIvvNmPjWplDTGW1effyZpWbjhOx0QherhJ5uRJPjQVXpffyBeTEyHuUjqi-IjP8hHhCaPZqFGkl5tvEOmRn2H3t9pwyrgB2wCJgTBk6m8E4gCRLIC73DQYoYYor0uaZzfnEkKZmUKoTUVvAdDDgVZw3W24477xiVCLD6QmqxuXwXlJ8SQuEGo4vjd5O7ipVJMCRiu5SP2ZKRa73jbNdepopPEbBTE3VP7M6GAIKVHG0-c-568WIV1ONX~lh8d7opKR7u01wRbxY7lBZ78Y44Zj3vL9ns1HFl2g19dDCkYWqr99N9x7p8agFqT~9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brooks, a Lansing Middle School administrator, told the Lansing Board of Education on Monday that the school is using professional learning communities (PLCs) to align instruction, track student learning and plan reteaching based on short, common formative assessments.

The presentation laid out how PLC teams set SMART goals, agree on essential outcomes and give shared common formative assessments (CFAs) to measure mastery, then use the CFA data to reteach or enrich students. The district presented a recent example in science where a PLC set a goal to raise performance from 77.5% to 80%.

Brooks said PLCs are “a collaborative process with two end goals: to improve instruction in the classroom and then also student learning at the same time.” He described the PLC cycle: teams identify essential outcomes tied to Kansas standards or NGSS, build short CFAs tied to those outcomes, administer those CFAs on a common schedule, and then use the results to adjust instruction. “An assessment becomes formative when the idea is to take those results and to use it to drive further instruction,” Brooks said.

At Lansing Middle School PLCs are organized by grade and content (for example, three grade-level language arts teams and three grade-level math teams). Teachers are asked to give roughly four CFAs per year (about one per quarter) and to track both the mean student score and the percent of students at “mastery,” defined by the school as 80% or higher. Brooks walked the board through sample PLC data showing variation in mean scores between teachers, and then a student-by-student look that flagged which students needed reteaching on particular outcomes.

Brooks and other staff explained how PLC work informs instructional planning and curriculum decisions: consistent essential outcomes and shared CFAs (“tight”) combined with teacher-level instructional choices (“loose”) let teachers compare results while preserving classroom flexibility. He said PLCs also inform curriculum review: CFA and PLC data can show whether a purchased curricular resource produces the expected learning gains.

Board members asked about vertical alignment across grades and how PLC data integrates with the district’s scope-and-sequence (the GVC). Brooks said PLC groups at Lansing are primarily horizontal (same grade and content), but the district tracks trends as cohorts move through grades and embeds CFAs in the district’s GVC so teachers can revise question banks and outcomes over time.

The presentation emphasized that PLCs are ongoing and collective: Brooks called them “a continuous improvement process” and said PLC work is intended to be a shared responsibility among teachers to improve student outcomes.

The board did not take action on the presentation; administrators said PLC data will continue to be used in curriculum review, teacher planning and future reports to the board.","Lansing Middle School administrators described their Professional Learning Community model to the board, explaining how common formative assessments, SMART goals and shared outcomes drive instruction and reteaching across grade-level teams.","actionData","errors"]
