District instructional staff presented fall i-Ready diagnostic and current instruction metrics at the board meeting. The fall diagnostic placed the district roughly in line with national year-to-date norms in mathematics and slightly above in reading.

The presenter said 68% of students were on or above grade level in reading and cited a 78% pass rate on reading lessons; in math staff reported about 57% meeting recommended time-on-task with 85% of lessons passed. The presenter noted that 97% of students were rostered in i-Ready and that approximately 100 students (mainly outside K-8 personalized instruction) were not in the personalized instruction program because the tool covers K-8 only.

Staff described learning walks with i-Ready representatives that provided classroom feedback and said they would summarize findings for board review. Administrators emphasized growth since the fall diagnostic and encouraged continued focus on lesson completion and time on task to sustain gains.
