Board approves accountability‑plan additions to report disaggregated student metrics in 2026 update
Summary
District staff presented additions and removals to the board’s accountability plan, including planned disaggregation of Smarter Balanced results, student growth percentiles, graduation data, CTE/AP breakdowns and least restrictive environment reporting; several items will appear in the January 2026 or June 2026 updates.
CLOVER PARK, Wash. — District staff on Tuesday reviewed a series of proposed additions and removals to the board accountability plan after the board’s January workshop, adding disaggregated academic and program measures that staff said will appear in January 2026 reports.
Assistant Superintendent Kevin Ruprecht described proposed changes including adding student growth percentiles for Smarter Balanced assessments in fifth and eighth grades, disaggregating proficiency data by demographic groups, providing disaggregated graduation rates, breaking out CTE dual‑credit and AP exam results by demographic groups, and reporting least‑restrictive environment (LRE) percentages for special‑education students.
Ruprecht said the Smarter Balanced student growth percentile data for grades five and eight and expanded disaggregation “will be added for the January 2026 presentation.” He also presented sample tables showing how the graduation and AP/CTE data would be disaggregated when the state publishes final figures.
Board members asked clarifying questions and offered refinements. Director Kim urged inclusion of preschool special‑education LRE data where appropriate and asked that the district ensure early‑learning reporting is considered; staff said preschool reporting is governed by different rules and they would consult early‑learning staff before adding preschool measures. Directors also recommended retaining ninth‑grade algebra reporting for the next year while the district transitions algebra instruction to grade 8.
Why it matters: the additions aim to increase transparency on disparities and help the board and schools target interventions. Staff said some items will still rely on state reporting timelines and will show lagged data where necessary.
Next steps: the revised 2025‑26 accountability plan will be included in board materials and staff will present the new disaggregated metrics during January 2026 and June 2026 accountability reports.
