Board accepts Results Monitoring Report 3 as "reasonable progress with exceptions" citing ACT concerns
Summary
The board voted to accept Results Monitoring Report 3 as making reasonable progress with exceptions noted, specifically calling out concerns about SuccessReady measures tied to ACT performance.
The Racine Unified School District Board of Education voted Oct. 20 to accept the Results Monitoring Report 3 as showing “reasonable progress with exceptions,” specifically noting concerns about the district's SuccessReady measures tied to ACT performance.
The decision matters because Results Monitoring Reports are the board's formal mechanism to evaluate district progress against Ends policies; the board amended the standard acceptance language to call out a specific shortfall in ACT-related SuccessReady indicators.
Board member Mister Coe moved to accept the Results 3 monitoring report as “reasonable progress with exceptions noted,” citing an ACT result he said the board could not, in good faith, list as unqualified progress. The motion singled out SuccessReady/ACT indicators for the exception. The motion was seconded and passed on a roll‑call vote, 9–0.
Board and staff discussion acknowledged that multiple performance metrics feed the monitoring narrative — graduation rates, workplace readiness and college-readiness measures — but that the district's ACT outcomes warranted a specific notation. Board members asked staff for clearer language in the monitoring document and discussed whether a revised document should return to the board; several board members said they preferred approving the report with the exception and then asking staff to revise the written report for future board packets.
No operational changes were adopted at the meeting; the board's action records a governance-level concern and requests clearer documentation on the ACT/SucessReady trend.
