School Committee approves 2025–26 improvement plans for Brown, Village and Veterans schools
Summary
After presentations by school leaders, the committee voted to approve the 2025–26 school improvement plans (SIPs) for Brown School, Village School and Veterans Middle School; plans emphasize MTSS implementation, SEL, and professional culture.
The Marblehead School Committee approved school improvement plans for Brown School, Village School and Veterans Middle School for the 2025–26 school year following presentations by each school’s leadership.
Each plan prioritized a stronger multitiered system of supports (MTSS) for instruction and interventions, deeper use of data in professional learning communities (PLCs), and social‑emotional learning (SEL) implementation. Brown School emphasized developing measurable intervention blocks and teacher capacity in PLCs. Village School stressed vertical alignment in math and literacy and continued rollout of the Wayfinder SEL program. Veterans Middle School highlighted an ongoing “I‑need” or intervention block (a “win block”), Wayfinder rollout and peer observation practices to spread tier‑1 instructional strategies.
Committee members praised staff for collaborative development of measurable goals and for incorporating stakeholder feedback. The committee called for clearer public information about DCAP (District Curriculum Accommodation Plan) and asked administration to post accessible DCAP guidance on the district website.
The committee moved and approved the consolidated motion to accept the three school improvement plans. Motion details and approvals were recorded in the meeting minutes.
