Matt Pletcher and the secondary principals presented highlights and context: Pletcher said persistence is a key success indicator because it captures students who graduate outside the traditional four‑year window. “We are at 78.6,” he said, and he emphasized the district’s stronger five‑ and seven‑year completion rates, which show many students graduating after additional time in the district.

Administrators attributed short‑term declines to several structural factors. Highview (the district’s alternative setting) serves many credit‑deficient students and shows substantially higher five‑ and seven‑year completion numbers; principals said the school serves students who arrive with significant credit gaps and complex life demands. Staff also pointed to mobility (students leaving the district or state), an increased number of students who enroll late and English‑learner and special‑education students who may need more than four years to graduate.

Pletcher highlighted notable subgroup trends: the district saw a “significant increase” in graduation among American Indian students and continues to outperform state averages in several groups including students with disabilities and English learners. Dropout rates rose slightly, mirroring a statewide uptick, and the staff said they will monitor that closely.

Principals described targeted interventions: implementation of the Bar (tiered supports) framework at Armstrong and Cooper, credit-completion programs, extended-day and extended-year recovery options and a multiple-cycle model at Robbinsdale Academy (Highview) for students to acquire credits quickly. The district also added staff at Robbinsdale Virtual Academy.

Board members asked about attendance and mobility as contributing factors; administrators confirmed those are areas of focus and said summer programs and credit-recovery options will remain available. Rob Ware (Highview principal) said many students arrive in survival mode and stressed that Highview’s five‑, six‑ and seven‑year rates were key measures of success for that program.

The presentation concluded with administrators asking the board to continue supporting multi-tiered systems of support, credit-recovery options and targeted interventions to accelerate student progress and close gaps in proficiency and graduation over time.

Assistant director Tony Patterson and student representatives told the board the trip combined classroom instruction with an experiential visit to historically Black colleges and universities and civil-rights sites. Student Richard Bassett Jr. described Morgan State’s campus culture and library; another student highlighted Howard University’s Founders Library and the Chadwick Boseman College of Fine Arts. Students said the National Museum of African American History and Culture was especially powerful because of its narrative structure that traces enslavement to the present day.

Students described practical takeaways — nursing programs at Hampton, tight-knit campus communities at Norfolk State, and the historical significance of Howard Law and alumni such as Thurgood Marshall — as well as the conversations they held each evening to process the visits. Patterson told the board that several past course participants have gone on to enroll at those colleges, and he emphasized the course’s role in elevating student voice and deepening student engagement with history.

Board members asked whether students were sharing the trip with peers; students and staff said the class’s end-of-year assignments include recaps for social media and presentations to peers. Director Holmes urged the district to expand access and help amplify student-produced materials so the program’s reach can grow.

The presentation included a list of colleges visited (Howard University, Howard University School of Law, Morgan State University, Hampton University, Norfolk State University) and museum stops (National Museum of African American History and Culture, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, White House exterior visits). Patterson and student presenters described day-by-day highlights and recommended the program as a model for experiential learning.

Principal Zorba Ross introduced the team and said the projects grew from a grant for an outdoor classroom. Art and media teacher Chris Murnane guided students through storyboarding, photography and editing for stop‑motion animation. Murnane explained the classroom process: students “started by planning our animations. We made a storyboard … and then we used our whiteboard and an iPad, and we made our animations.” Students described taking hundreds of still photos, editing and adding sound and voiceovers.

The second project produced about 80 engraved garden plaques to be placed on the school grounds next to plants in the outdoor classroom. Students designed two plaque types in Adobe Illustrator — a plant information plaque and a nature-exploration plaque — and district facilities engraved the designs. Student Shira described her nature-exploration plaque and Sofia explained an artist statement: “Dragon is symbolized by strength, leadership, confidence, and pride to treat everyone equally.”

Principal Ross credited staff and district partners for the project, thanking Jennifer Holt, Scott Carlson, Beth Meezing and John Michaels by name for help with the grant and production. Director Holmes confirmed the plaques and groundbreaking for the outdoor classroom were related and noted the projects were grant-funded.

Board members applauded the students for public presentation skills and thanked staff for the hands-on learning. Director Bassett and others asked to see the physical plaques; staff said the district’s engraver produced the signs on request and that the school had already placed the plaques on the grounds.

The presentation ended with a group photo and applause; the board then proceeded to other agenda items.","Students and staff from Fair Crystal Elementary demonstrated stop‑motion animations and showed student-designed outdoor classroom plaques created using Adobe Illustrator and an engraver paid for by a grant.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6644941,"District staff recommend Wit & Wisdom plus phonics program to meet Minnesota Read Act requirements",1070,4353000,5423000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5725190-8c5e366c8306a0fd34ff0caf37ac089d&start=4353&end=5423","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5725190-8c5e366c8306a0fd34ff0caf37ac089d/thumbnail_4353000.jpg","/articles/6644941/Minnesota/District-staff-recommend-Wit-Wisdom-plus-phonics-program-to-meet-Minnesota-Read-Act-requirements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6644941-7985c2c5289f2e05782aeca8c26f2114/orig.mp4?Expires=1770794240&Signature=GH0wTh87KqYL08yveLcIc6nlcvOXNZrnwpvUjPZFt7oMlxER6nCRV2c5pKX~wxCTlwlW7zzNnJ44D03gzBpvX46CEhd9ntCXxkDhRcKwiqbEdzuShUs3d9AHlyK0kp0nxn07bMBC0R4SnsPGa19wpIuTfHjnxrZV-xu~TbuPJp1EX8yiVNKe5gvYxGcSeesZyhK8Ivs2Zq9aedVbThh5iXga83yhfpAVD3QqTCSO5MBEYD2x-Ew~fUTz3BeGSxC0m66vCUcq1~dQ248wSxFupUjSvw4CLl3J5bjwA1ZMeAjxvet5ktMpyDEIJlIvChDHHoXCRMxKZs7BE6u3S0v5GA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Robbinsdale Area Schools staff recommended on May 19 that the district adopt Wit & Wisdom as the K–5 knowledge-building (comprehension and vocabulary) English language arts curriculum, paired with Functional Phonics & Morphology for foundational phonics instruction.

Assistant Superintendent and curriculum staff, led by Matt Pletcher, presented the result of a multi-month literacy review and a literacy task force of about 50 members that included classroom teachers, special-education and EL staff, building administrators and community stakeholders. Pletcher summarized the recommendation: “We are fully aligned with the Minnesota Read Act and the science of reading,” and the recommended combination would satisfy the state’s requirements for an evidence-based literacy resource.

Pletcher described the review process: the district waited for the Minnesota Department of Education’s approved list of foundational products, convened a vendor fair, gave sandbox access to both finalists, and surveyed staff and administrators. He told the board the district’s literacy committee favored Wit & Wisdom overall for knowledge-building and representation. Pletcher said, “Our American Indian team strongly endorsed Wit & Wisdom because of its references, its materials, its literature.”

Two concerns emerged in the review. Special education staff favored EL Education for its internal scaffolds and supports; Pletcher reported special-education staff believed EL Education contained more explicit embedded scaffolding. District staff said Wit & Wisdom also includes scaffolds but implementation would require robust professional learning and coaching. Pletcher presented comparative cost figures the committee had analyzed: a four‑year professional learning and implementation package for Wit & Wisdom was presented at about $1,100,000 and a companion foundational product (Functional Phonics & Morphology) near $200,000; EL Education was estimated at about $1,600,000 in the district’s vendor proposals.

Pletcher said Bridge to Read (the district’s current foundational resource for K–3) will continue for foundational instruction; the new recommendation would add the knowledge-building resource across K–5 and the approved phonics/morphology resource to meet Department of Education requirements for state aid. He added that the district had already implemented Bridge to Read for K–3 this year and had seen “tremendous growth.”

Directors asked about scaffolding and special-education access, planning and teacher prep time, and community input. Pletcher and other administrators said the chosen vendor’s professional learning plan would provide multi-year coaching and a launch sequence intended to give teachers unit planning time during the training. The recommendation was informational at the May 19 meeting; the board did not take a formal procurement vote that night.

If the board moves forward with Wit & Wisdom and Functional Phonics & Morphology, the district plans to implement the resources in fall 2025 with a multiyear professional learning and coaching plan and to monitor implementation fidelity and outcomes.

Budget details discussed at the meeting: the district presentation estimated roughly $1.1 million for multi‑year PL for Wit & Wisdom and about $200,000 for the foundational product; EL Education’s full package estimate was presented at roughly $1.6 million. Superintendent Salo and curriculum staff said the district would return with final procurement documents and a professional learning calendar for board review prior to purchase.

The motion, moved by Director Holmes and seconded by Director Long, failed in a 4-3 roll-call vote.

Board members and district counsel sparred over both principle and practice. Director Holmes introduced the motion, saying, “I motion do it you want me to read the thing again? Motion to resend legal counsel from further board meetings unless required by Minnesota state statute.” Director Holmes said the change was prompted by what she described as mounting legal fees and the need to save district resources.

Supporters of counsel cited past incidents where legal advice prevented errors. Director Bowman said it is “standard and customary for legal counsel to be at any governance meeting” and called counsel a “safeguard.” Chair Evans Becker argued the board has struggled with governance and that having counsel present “protects us” while members learn to operate effectively together.

District legal counsel clarified the bills the board had received and how they were composed. Counsel said, “That $16,000 number is made up primarily of an employment investigation that the district or that our firm did for the district. That is ... not related to our attendance or representation of the board,” and described how time and tasks are itemized on invoices.

Board members who opposed the motion also said removing counsel now could create greater financial exposure later. Director Wutto said he was concerned the board was “not quite ready” to lead meetings without legal presence and warned that mistakes could cost the district more than routine attendance fees.

When the board voted, Director Bassett, Director Holmes and Director Long voted yes; Directors Bowman, Evans Becker, Hillenbrand and Wutto voted no. The motion did not prevail.

The meeting did include an amendment during the discussion that sought to limit counsel’s presence to situations “unless requested by the superintendent or the chair”; that narrower formulation was proposed during the floor debate but the board ultimately rejected the broader motion to rescind routine counsel presence.

The vote ends a contentious item that board members said reflected longer-running tensions over governance style, cost transparency and how the board should use outside legal resources. Superintendent Salo told the board that legal bills and the categories of legal work are public records and that she would make requested billing details available to board members.

At the meeting’s outset the board had earlier approved placing the rescind-counsel item on the agenda by roll call after an initial voice vote and a request for a recorded count.

The board moved on to other business, including curriculum and operational items, after the vote.","After a contentious debate about costs and governance, the Robbinsdale Area School Board voted 4-3 to keep legal counsel available at meetings; a narrower motion to limit counsel to requests by the superintendent or chair was defeated.","actionData","errors"]
