District staff brief board on school improvement (land trust/TSSA) plans and new review app; board asked to review before June approval
Summary
Administrators presented the school improvement (land trust/TSSA) plans, explained board review responsibilities under state rules and introduced a new web app for plan review. Board members were asked to review assigned plans and provide questions before final approval in June.
District staff gave the board an overview of school improvement plans (land trust and TSSA) and demonstrated a new plan‑review application designed to help board members read plans and add private notes.
Greg Wilkie, who led the presentation, told members state board rule requires the local board to ensure school plans include academic goals, action steps tied to those goals and academic measures for evaluating growth. He said the district staff had reviewed all plans and distributed them among board members for individual review; the intention is to finalize approval at the first June meeting following board review.
Why it matters: Land trust and TSSA plans direct school improvement spending and academic goals for each school. The board’s review is the required local oversight step under state board rule.
Administrators demonstrated the application and explained features: navigation by plan section, a one‑page scroll option, private note fields for board members and links to the state reporting template. John Hyatt, a district staff member, was introduced as the technical lead for the app and offered support for board members who need help accessing or navigating the tool.
Board process: Administrators asked board members to review goals, action steps and budgets within the plan app and to contact staff with questions before the June approval meeting. Staff emphasized they are available to help and will schedule follow‑up if specific plans require further discussion.
Ending: Board members thanked staff for the app and for dividing plans for review; staff reiterated they would be available for technical help and to answer content questions before the June vote.
