Pulaski rolls out second Future Ready report card to highlight community measures beyond test scores
Summary
District staff presented a second Future Ready report card (02/2425) designed to tell the district's broader story by including measures such as graduation rates, summer/adult-learning enrollment, volunteer hours and community partnerships; presenters said early feedback from a regional group was positive.
Pulaski Community School District presented its second Future Ready report card (labeled 02/2425 in the presentation) as an effort to broaden public reporting beyond state accountability scores. Speaker 3 said the district did not want standardized test scores to be "our only story" and described the report card as organized into categories such as "by the numbers," "people and places," and recognition items like Golden Apple awards.
The report card includes items the presenters said convey the district's broader contributions to the community: graduation rates, summer and adult-learning program enrollment (the presenters said last summer had the highest summer-school enrollment), volunteer hours, and supports such as transportation and food service. Speaker 16 reported sharing the report with a Brown County group and receiving positive feedback.
Why it matters: Presenters said a more complete narrative can help families and community members see district strengths beyond a single accountability score, and that showcasing these measures could increase public engagement. Board members asked whether the district had received public feedback about the document; presenters said they had not seen substantial public comment recorded on the posted page but noted local superintendent groups discussed similar approaches.
Next steps: Staff will continue to share the Future Ready profile and consider outreach opportunities to showcase the report card to parents and the broader community.
