Adams 12 board adopts district Unified Improvement Plan and districtwide progress-monitoring tool
Summary
Board approved a district-level Unified Improvement Plan and a new progress-monitoring (PM) tool; district leaders set district improvement priorities and implementation steps tied to sprint cycles and data trackers.
The Adams 12 Board of Education unanimously approved the district Unified Improvement Plan (UIP) and adopted a district progress-monitoring tool designed to align school-level sprint cycles, instructional observations and data trackers across the system.
District staff told the board the district UIP focuses on two major improvement strategies: ensuring access to rigorous, grade-level learning for every student and fostering academic and social belonging. Megan (last name not specified), a district leader, said the district has adopted “arcs of learning” and short sprint cycles to make second‑order changes more manageable for classroom teachers.
Assistant superintendent Dave (last name not specified in the transcript) reported the district missed the performance cut point by 0.4 percentage points the prior year and that the new online UIP template and district PM tool will be used to keep plans “front and center.” The PM tool will be used by schools to define quarterly action steps, collect implementation evidence and measure the effect of interventions on attendance, behavior and academic measures such as DIBELS and MAP.
District leaders said they will engage the District Accountability Committee (DAC) in monitoring, invite DAC members to attend school-level PM sessions, and provide quarterly progress monitoring sessions between principals and executive directors. The board recorded an affirmative vote by Directors Assad Lucas, Battistelli, Goldstein, Marsh Holshin and Potter.
Board members asked for ongoing updates and emphasized that the district PM tool should help schools make data-driven adjustments on a monthly and quarterly basis rather than waiting for end‑of‑year results.
The board also approved a motion earlier in the meeting to table a separate data-rich monitoring report for a future meeting to allow more time for review.
