Superintendent reports early assessment gains, flags absenteeism and discipline trends
Summary
District presenters reported i-Ready and ELA/math/science diagnostic projections showing proficiency and projected growth, while noting enrollment near 577, a chronic absentee rate of 24.78% and disciplinary referrals rising from 43 to 60.
District staff presented the superintendent's monthly report, highlighting early-year assessment results and operational metrics.
Presenters said i-Ready and other diagnostic tools indicate progress in English language arts and math, with specific figures cited for proficiency and projected growth. The transcript records a district presenter stating that the i-Ready diagnostic "gave us 24.95 proficiency points in English and 51.1 proficiency points in math and 33 points of growth," and cited projected proficiency percentages for ELA, math and science in the first progress check.
On operational metrics, the presenter reported total district enrollment at approximately 577 students, a chronic absentee rate of 24.78% and a district attendance figure described as 96.1%. Discipline referrals were reported to have risen from 43 to 60 in the recent week, with many incidents described as horseplay or repeated general-school infractions.
The presenter also cited FY24 and related fund balances as reported in the monthly board packet and said FY23 funds were extended. A district administrator reported that a financial audit had not identified major issues and that dual controls and documentation were in place.
Board members did not record additional public comment on the assessment data. Staff indicated several follow-up items for monitoring student growth and attendance as the year progresses.
