District staff said the number of EB students reclassified as English proficient rose by 89 percent from the 2022–23 school year to the 2024–25 school year. Presenters described the reclassification as a multi-data-point process: students must score in the advanced-high range on TELPAS across multiple domains (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and meet local STAR performance requirements before being considered for exit from EB status.

Why it matters: Reclassification reflects measurable language gains for students who receive targeted bilingual instruction. Presenters credited shifts in how core content is delivered, changes in time allotments and program structure, and campus leadership for the gains.

Trustees and presenters highlighted specific campus-level gains. Staff said third grade showed a 10 percent increase in students who met or mastered the math STAR after program changes, and Timberline increased the number of students in the grade-level cohort while improving the percent meeting approaches and above by 19 percent.

District leaders noted that increasing the EB cohort size alters percentages and that staff continue to monitor additional indicators — such as TOPAS — where some students still need further progress to reach advanced-high TELPAS levels.

Ending: Staff asked trustees to recognize campus and teacher work in these results and said they will continue targeted actions to support EB students who have not yet exited to English proficient status.

Why it matters: Trustees heard that I‑Ready produced useful diagnostic growth measures (typical and stretch growth) and that students who met stretch growth were more likely to perform on grade level, but staff also warned that local unit tests (“text checks”) often showed higher results than end-of-year STAR/STAAR outcomes.

District presenters explained that I‑Ready’s personalized lessons were assigned as a supplement to teacher-led instruction, and that campuses varied in how they scheduled and monitored those lessons. “I Ready did not take the place of our teacher instruction,” a presenter said, adding that personalized lessons were intended to fill learning gaps.

Staff summarized key findings and next steps: average minutes on personalized math lessons ranged roughly from the low 30s to high 40s depending on grade, and students who met stretch-growth benchmarks tended to be closer to the higher-minute thresholds and to show better end-of-year outcomes. Staff said they will place greater emphasis on lesson completion and lesson mastery over simply logging minutes, and that year-two work will focus on teacher monitoring, the teacher toolkit (small-group lessons aligned to diagnostic groupings), and assessment alignment.

An assessment audit launched last summer is ongoing. Trustees were told the audit will probe whether unit tests align to the rigor and format of state assessment items and whether local cut scores for “meets” and “masters” should be recalibrated to reflect state standards. The presenter warned that unit tests are shorter, often target isolated standards and may not measure long-term mastery; that combination can produce a mismatch with state exam performance.

Trustees raised concerns about students gaming time-based metrics (a trustee recounted a personal example of a student logging minutes at home). District staff agreed and said fidelity — how teachers use the toolkit and monitor students — will be a central focus of the 2025–26 plan.

Ending: District staff promised a deeper report in a follow-up update with focus-group feedback and recommendations for year-two implementation of I‑Ready and the assessment audit.

The presentation included high-level outcome measures, campus-level summaries and a plan to move many detailed performance measures into department and campus cascading scorecards.

District leaders said the scorecard is meant to show the highest-level priorities and that campus improvement plans contain the day-to-day action steps. “The district scorecard is the way in which that comes to life each and every day,” a presenter said while describing how the board-adopted priorities guide the district’s work.

The nut graf: The board heard that the 2024–25 scorecard is an overview of district performance — not a substitute for campus improvement plans — and that the 2025–26 scorecard will be shorter at the district level while departments and campuses will hold the more detailed cascading scorecards. Trustees were told the condensed document reduces duplication while keeping accountability at the district level.

District staff described the materials provided: an outcome-measure report for each balanced-scorecard item (continued/complete/abandoned, with progress notes) and a campus-level replication showing campus celebrations from 2024–25 and targeted focus areas for 2025–26. The presentation emphasized that some items removed from the district-level key strategic actions will appear in departmental or campus cascading scorecards “so it doesn’t mean we’re doing less work,” a presenter said.

Leaders reiterated that statewide accountability and final ratings are lagging measures. They explained the difference between preliminary end-of-year results (which include all students tested at year-end) and the state’s accountability snapshot (taken in October). “The results we’re sharing with you today that are preliminary include all of the students that assessed with us at the end of the year. They may or may not count in what is the accountability ratings,” a leader said.

The board asked several trustees’ questions about how district targets were set and how campus targets relate to district targets; staff replied that 2025 targets were set at the district level from multiple data points and that campuses also set their own site-level targets. Trustees were told the processes will be refined during the 2025–26 planning cycle.

Ending: District staff said trustees will receive monthly priority reports tied to the 2025–26 scorecard and that the district will continue to develop and share cascading scorecards for departments and campuses.
