District reports SEL dashboard improvement; staff outline MTSS and data uses
Summary
District staff showed a new social-emotional learning dashboard reporting a fall composite of 85% against an 80% goal, described disaggregated group gains, training for case managers and social workers, and plans to consider adding parent input as a third data source.
District staff presented a new student well-being dashboard and reviewed the student-support MTSS structure, saying the district met and slightly exceeded its composite SEL goal this fall.
"Our goal is 80% on the SEL composite, and we had 85% this fall," staff reported, then noted gains for American Indian/Alaska Native and Hispanic students and a 4% improvement for students with disabilities compared with last fall. Free-and-reduced students were reported just under goal at 78% while multilingual learners met the 80% target.
Why it matters: SEL and MTSS data feed into resource allocation, counselor and social-worker assignments, and targeted interventions for students with behavioral or emotional needs. Staff said they are using the dashboard to inform principal and counselor action planning and to share findings with school accountability committees.
Data procedures and next steps: Staff described double-informant reporting for grades 3'12 (student self-report plus staff wellness adviser) and a single-informant approach for K'2 (teacher report). They explained some students are excluded where the screener is not appropriate and noted plans to pilot adding parent reports as a third data point after weighing concerns about student candor.
What happens next: The district will continue fall and spring checks and review MTSS tiered supports; staff said the dashboard and its disaggregated reports will be available to board members via the results pages referenced in the meeting materials.
