Summary

Board members heard the legally mandated 2022–23 Oregon English‑learner outcomes report showing former ELs outperformed never‑ELs at the high‑school ELA benchmark, and staff demonstrated a new district attendance and enrollment dashboard that principals can access weekly.

The Eagle Point School District 9 board received the Oregon English Learner annual outcomes report for 2022–23 and a demonstration of a new district attendance‑and‑enrollment dashboard at its Aug. 25 meeting.

The presenter described the ELL report as legally mandated and said it contains financial, programmatic and demographic information about English learners. The presenter pointed to a state summary showing Eagle Point listed among districts where former English learners met the English‑language‑arts benchmark at a higher rate than students who were never identified as ELs. The presenter asked staff to examine what practices produced those results and to watch year‑to‑year trends when the next report is published.

Separately, a district data lead presented a consolidated attendance and enrollment dashboard that will be accessible to principals and district staff. The tool includes monthly attendance by school, enrollment trend charts, leave‑code tracking and a resources tab with action documents and guidance for staff and parents. The presenter said the dashboard currently uses placeholder data for testing, took about 64 hours to build, and will be updated weekly (individual attendance totals) and monthly (district summaries).

Board members praised the dashboard and asked about sustainability; the presenter said ongoing maintenance will require entering data on two tabs weekly and monthly and that the system is designed to auto‑populate site spreadsheets. Staff committed to share the dashboard with principals and follow up on the analysis of what drove the ELL outcomes.
