Red River High School tells board RTI/'rider time' and targeted supports are helping attendance and course recovery
Summary
Red River High School told the Grand Forks school board that its RTI program—branded 'rider time'—plus targeted interventions, literacy and math strategies and Panorama survey use are central to plans to raise proficiency and graduation rates; presenters cited early data and gaps between interim and NDA+ results.
Red River High School presented an overview of its RTI system, assessment results and schoolwide goals to the Grand Forks Public Schools board on Monday, stressing targeted time for student interventions and department-driven literacy and math strategies.
Principal (presenter identified in the transcript) described the schoolwide mission as "empowering all learners" and said the RTI program—called rider time—remains the engine for delivering targeted support. "RTI is what drives us at Red River," the presenter said, and staff described the program as a mix of intervention, work sessions, enrichment and study halls designed to give students access to teachers during the school day.
Tyra Nelson, Red River's athletic director, described two student-focused programs: a Leadership Council of about 50 student leaders that supports freshmen orientation, and a Freshman Mentoring Program she said was started by Terry Horpadel; Nelson said more than 100 upperclassmen applied to mentor this year. "It's just a great opportunity for them to experience leadership," she said.
