District lays out 100-day plan to boost student achievement with PLC coaching and data reviews

District staff presented a 100-day plan focused on student achievement and learning outcomes, emphasizing professional learning communities (PLCs), principal coaching and use of state and local data to guide instruction. Katie Eigman, a district staff member leading the presentation, said the plan builds on curriculum training held during in-service week and includes classroom observations, coaching and a review of state report-card data when it is released in October. "All buildings did a big PLC rollout during in-service week," Eigman said. "Building principals will serve as collaborative team coaches…to give specific feedback around how to grow instructionally using student data."Nut graf: The plan is meant to create common instructional expectations across buildings and provide actionable feedback to teachers through a coaching model; administrators will use both external (state report cards) and internal assessment data to adjust building-level 100-day goals. By front-loading professional development and calibrating observation practices, district leaders aim to make classroom support more consistent and actionable.Body: Eigman told the committee that teachers received new literacy and ELA curriculum training at the elementary, middle and high school levels and that building principals were trained to support PLCs. She said the district will roll out a new platform to document observations and monitor ongoing feedback. "We have systems of accountability in all of our regular meetings with our building admin to say, like, talk to me about your observations," Eigman said, adding the district will use a shared system for reporting PLC observations and team meetings. Committee members pressed on logistics — how principals will find time to observe classrooms and how teachers needing extra support will be prioritized. Eigman said that principals will calendar observations intentionally and that the district will track completion through regular meetings and the new platform. She described a co-observation and calibration practice the district used previously to align feedback among administrators. The presentation also notes a timeline: initial PLC rollout and curriculum training (first 30 days), principal coaching and observation follow-up (30–60 days), and data review tied to the state report-card release (around day 90–100). Eigman said the district will report back after the first 90 days with data on the plan’s action items and any adjustments. Ending: Committee members expressed support for the clearer priorities and the emphasis on targeted coaching and said they looked forward to the 90-day data update.
