Middletown outlines MTSS expansion and new tracking systems to reduce chronic absenteeism
Summary
District leaders described a three‑year roll‑out of a Multi‑Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) with pilot schools, standardized flagging criteria, an electronic referral system, and Panorama for intervention tracking; early results show improvements in chronic absenteeism at pilot sites.
Paul Griswold, director of assessment, professional development and instruction, presented a multi‑year plan to expand the district’s Multi‑Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Griswold said the district began consultancy with ISCON in 23–24, piloted MTSS teams in Beaman, Farm Hill and McDonough, and this year added Bealfield, Snow and Spencer. He described MTSS as a framework to standardize identification of students needing academic, social‑emotional, or attendance interventions and to track supports across schools.
