D303 staff to track Title I outcomes by individual student groups, district says
Summary
Executive Director Yvette Stahl told the board the district will monitor year-over-year progress for economically disadvantaged students against typical growth targets and examine school-level differences between targeted and schoolwide Title I implementation.
Yvette Stahl, executive director of Learning and Teaching for St. Charles CUSD 303, told the board on June 9 that the district will track Title I-supported students more closely and tie supports to measurable growth targets.
"We wanna lean in a little bit to the strategic plan and the success indicators there," Stahl said, explaining the district will monitor absenteeism and whether economically disadvantaged students meet typical academic growth targets in reading and math.
Stahl said the district will follow groups of students from fall to spring assessments to determine whether Title I interventions are helping students reach expected progress. She cited Anderson school as an example where, in 2023-24, students who were economically disadvantaged showed strong math growth and in some cases exceeded typical growth targets. She added that reading remains an area requiring more attention.
Board members asked for follow-up data and were told the district can provide progress updates before the end of the year; Stahl said the district's tracking systems allow the staff to identify which students received Title I interventions and monitor their performance. The board also asked whether district staff could compare outcomes at schools that opt for schoolwide Title I status versus targeted-program schools; Stahl said the district would pursue comparative information and could contact peer districts rather than relying solely on public records requests to the Illinois State Board of Education.
The board requested ongoing updates; Stahl confirmed staff could report interim progress after fall assessments and continue reporting into the next school year.
