Chairman Holt opened the meeting and read required procedural statements before Ryan Shanahan, the board's associate general counsel, read a statement of necessity noting the meeting was held electronically and that TCA 8-44-108 and the board's meetings policy require roll-call votes for electronic meetings. The committee voted to have the meeting recording serve as the official minutes by roll call (three in favor; motion carried).

Brianna Summers, Director of Policy and Academics, told the committee staff had run a month-long stakeholder survey with a one-week extension; 17 of 39 invited respondents replied, and replies included executive leadership from higher education, research organizations and workforce partners. Summers said stakeholders generally viewed the board as an ally on high standards, teacher quality and college readiness and that the strongest areas of alignment were teacher retention and literacy.

Committee members asked for clarity on definitions used in the plan, the degree to which the board should measure specific grades versus broader trends, and how to account for data limitations when setting goals. Members also discussed workforce alignment, P-20 longitudinal data, the role of higher education and industry partnerships in measuring postsecondary and career outcomes, and how to reflect AI's impact in the plan.

Staff outlined next steps: staff will draft edits to the Master Plan based on the discussion; the board will release the 2025 Master Plan Report in November; the committee will hold a work session in December to react to draft language; and the full board will consider a revised plan in February 2026 for approval.

The meeting adjourned after roughly 90-100 minutes of discussion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","September 29, 2025 Strategic Planning Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Tennessee State Board of Education Strategic Planning Committee met electronically Sept. 29 to review stakeholder survey feedback on the board\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000master plan, discuss proposed edits and set next steps for drafting updates ahead of a November report and a February 2026 approval.","taxTitle","State Board of Education, Deparments in Office of the Governor, Organizations, Executive, Tennessee","taxId",36988,"location","Tennessee","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},6426707,"Committee proposes adding numeracy to literacy goal, debates grade-level checkpoints",463,2115000,2578000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5891331-66298616b5588a56189998d3f0db5bf3&start=2115&end=2578","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5891331-66298616b5588a56189998d3f0db5bf3/thumbnail_2115000.jpg","/articles/6426707/Tennessee/Committee-proposes-adding-numeracy-to-literacy-goal-debates-grade-level-checkpoints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6426707-dc01745ec65e377ff908d2ab4b4e9f62/orig.mp4?Expires=1773743767&Signature=isZ5ojeTExjIYA7kzpRuCOTD5zFZJb9Z9qp32vEqc71lfqvedvYpzuTXlSoLRJyjDiwUv3bueGvTHdkKOzm18SWRwTkY0Q6Nb89UOUwnajADsKO345yLLFa1R-GJyIBol59ztKy8Ow2KYv26HexayuP7qPI3CAFT-bFbEjkSOTkmx~~0MBQ9nfTilHo3gqdXMpjiK-7eiUoq3iXeFbzykfebjX6UQfodQFJgnpHa-6nIr8nVVJKoaqbSIP16aDSw87yUwZBQX9ZwxENoGe3SGdGoCxKxx1S3pu1-cawzEbUYPxODoYRTMTuO~GLc6NIyFzFu0pysRtDtIMzM7oRugg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Sept. 29 Strategic Planning Committee meeting, staff proposed revising the board's literacy focus to explicitly include numeracy and to add a seventh-grade math goal as a critical checkpoint for state progress measures.

Brianna Summers, Director of Policy and Academics, said many stakeholders urged the board to add math and suggested a seventh-grade benchmark because \"seventh grade is most likely the last point in which you have students all taking the same level or same coursework before it starts to split or diverge.\" Summers also reported that respondents generally recommended line-item edits rather than wholesale elimination of existing goals.

Committee members questioned whether a single grade checkpoint is sufficient. Committee member Bob asked why the board would not add earlier intermediate checks in math, arguing that waiting until seventh grade risks missing students who fall behind earlier. Chairman Holt and others noted the intent of grade-level checkpoints is to provide \"dipstick\" measurements that summarize broader trends while staff and the board continue to review year-by-year data.

Members discussed alternative approaches, including averaging outcomes across grades, keeping multiple grade checkpoints, or retaining the existing approach but improving alignment with state assessment and partner initiatives such as SCORE's Tennessee 2030 goals. Sarah said the board should continue to examine data for every grade and subgroup annually while using one or two \"dipstick\" measures in the Master Plan to communicate high-level progress.

No formal vote was taken on the proposed language; staff will draft several options (annual increments versus a three-year target, single-grade checkpoints versus multi-grade measures) and bring them back to the committee for review.","Staff recommended adding math (numeracy) to the board's literacy focus, proposing a seventh-grade math checkpoint; members debated whether single-grade checkpoints are too late and whether goals should be set annually or as three-year targets.","actionData","errors"]
