Board moves 2025-26 assessment plan to action and approves it
Summary
After a short discussion, the Pullman board moved the 2025-26 assessment plan to action and approved the plan; staff said principals are eager to post the plan and begin implementation.
The Pullman Public Schools Board of Directors moved the 2025-26 assessment plan to action and approved it during Wednesday's meeting.
Ryan Mobia (staff member) presented the annual assessment plan required by board policy 2090, summarizing statewide assessments (SBA, WA CAST, WA-AIM), interim assessments, AP testing windows, and English-language proficiency checks. Ryan said the plan updates reflected principal and teacher feedback and that interim assessments would replace some classroom formative assessments rather than add extra testing.
Board action: A board member moved to advance the assessment plan to an action item and then moved approval. The motion passed on a voice vote; the chair announced the motion passed and Ryan said principals were ready to post the plan to staff and the district website.
Why it matters: The assessment plan sets testing windows and local assessment usage that inform instruction, graduation pathways and resource allocations. Ryan stressed that SBA windows are fixed by OSPI and the College Board and that district timing is intended to provide data in time for administrative and board retreats.
Next steps: Staff will post the approved plan to the district website and distribute it to principals for implementation.
