Lewis Frasier Middle School identified for targeted support over students with disabilities subgroup; board seeks plan and monitoring
Summary
District staff notified the board that Lewis Frasier Middle School was identified for Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) based on students with disabilities subgroup data; board members pressed for a concrete plan, frequent updates and monitoring to exit the list within a year.
District staff told the Liberty County Board that Lewis Frasier Middle School has been identified for Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) because of performance in the students‑with‑disabilities subgroup, and that the school will be reevaluated at the end of the school year.
“Lewis Frasier Middle School has been identified as a targeted school for improvement based on their students with disabilities subgroup data and will be reevaluated next year,” Brandon Duke told the board, outlining the federal school identifiers and the district’s planned supports.
Duke summarized the federal identification framework: Comprehensive School Improvement (CSI) lists the lowest‑performing Title I schools and triggers state‑level intervention; TSI identifies schools with one or more underperforming subgroups and requires district‑led supports. He said Liberty County has no schools on the CSI list.
District staff described supports to help Lewis Frasier, including teacher observation and feedback, content specialist support, weekly teacher PLCs, midyear district support meetings, action improvement presentations, IEP development training, co‑teacher training, progress monitoring training and review of school improvement plans.
Board members expressed concern about a districtwide decline in scores and pressed administrators for an actionable plan and more frequent reporting. One member said the district must stop “covering the problem” and requested regular progress reports. Superintendent Dr. Perry said staff will return with the district plan and share it with the board.
Board members asked whether the state provides direct support for TSI schools; district staff clarified that the state provides technical assistance and professional learning resources but typically only provides on‑site intervention for schools on the CSI list, not TSI. The board directed staff to report back with the improvement plan and monitoring schedule.
