VTSS/MTSS update: Greensville schools below fidelity targets; district sets attendance, science goals and allocates small grant
Summary
District VTSS presentation reported Tier Fidelity Inventory scores below the 70% fidelity target, outlined gaps in Tier 2 and Tier 3 implementation, set attendance and science goals for 2024–25, and reported a ~$15,000 VTSS grant split among three schools.
Greensville County Public Schools staff reported March 10 that the district's Virginia Tiered Systems of Support (VTSS) implementation remains below targeted fidelity levels and outlined next steps and small grant allocations to support school‑level work.
A division speaker summarized Tier Fidelity Inventory (TFI) results for 2024: an overall average below the 70% fidelity target, Tier 1 averaging about 58%, Tier 2 averaging 33%, and Tier 3 averaging in the high 30s (teams 38%, resources 39%, support plans 33%, evaluation 29%). The speaker said the district must close gaps in implementation and evaluation to reach fidelity.
District goals presented included raising students present 90% or more days to 87% by May 2025 and improving science pass rates (target: 75% by May 2025 in tested grades and biology). The division also noted a VTSS grant allocation of $15,000 (approximately $5,000 per school after encumbrances) earmarked for science support and other initiatives.
Why it matters: VTSS/MTSS provides a data‑driven framework for equitable instruction and behavioral supports; low fidelity scores indicate the district needs targeted coaching, resources and monitoring to ensure interventions reach students who need them.
Board discussion and next steps: The presenter named division coaches and school‑level leads who meet monthly and outlined a plan for coaching, professional learning, and focused work on attendance and science alignment with the corrective action plan and comprehensive strategic plan. The $15,000 VTSS grant is to be strategically deployed across the three implementing schools.
Ending: District leaders said they will continue monthly leadership team meetings, deploy the VTSS grant strategically, and return to the board with progress updates.
