Board renews i‑Ready diagnostic for 2025–26; district says state requires a diagnostic tool
Summary
Moore County Schools approved renewal of the i‑Ready diagnostic tool for grades K–8 for the 2025–26 school year. District staff said the state requires a diagnostic tool and that funding will use braided sources including Title I, ESSER and textbook funds where applicable.
The Moore County Schools Board of Education approved renewal of the i‑Ready diagnostic contract for the 2025–26 school year at its May 12 meeting.
Staff described i‑Ready as the district's K–8 diagnostic tool in use since 2021; the superintendent said North Carolina requires that districts maintain a diagnostic. The purchase was previously funded in part with ESSER emergency relief funds for district-wide implementation; staff said a braided funding approach will continue, using Title I, state textbook funds and other permissible sources.
A motion to approve the renewal was made by Miss Davis and seconded by Mister Johnson; the motion carried by voice vote.
No public opposition or alternative diagnostic proposals were recorded during the meeting. Staff did not state a total contract dollar amount in the public discussion recorded in the transcript.
