Summary
The board approved superintendent-proposed district goals for 2025-26 focused on math achievement (+2 percentage points toward pre-pandemic levels), reducing chronic absenteeism to 10%, implementing districtwide multi-tiered systems of support, and raising core-subject achievement while closing performance gaps.
The Monrovia Unified School District Board approved the superintendents district goals for the 2025-26 school year. The four goals presented and approved were: increase math achievement by 2 percentage points to move toward pre-pandemic performance; reduce chronic absenteeism to 10 percent and improve daily average attendance; implement a districtwide multi-tiered, multi-domain system of supports spanning academic, college-and-career and social-emotional domains; and raise achievement across core subjects by 2 percent while closing performance gaps.
Presenters noted the districts math performance had recovered to roughly 42 percent (approaching a pre-pandemic level reported as 43 percent). Board members recognized staff progress while noting community scrutiny of raw percentages. The board approved the goals with direction that staff provide visual materials to all school sites and to the public so families and site leaders can track progress.
The board framed the goals as data-driven and emphasized that improved data granularity will allow staff to pinpoint item-level learning needs. No vote tally was given in the recap; the goals were approved as presented.
