Consultant outlines new district scorecard and 45‑day improvement cycle
Summary
A Studer consultant presented a district scorecard tying mission and pillars to annual goals and 45‑day short‑cycle measures; the board discussed contingency planning and monitoring responsibilities for early attendance and culture indicators.
Brent Brock of Studer presented the Molalla River School District’s scorecard framework at the July 11 meeting, explaining how the district will translate mission and pillar statements into annual goals and 45‑day progress measures.
Brock described the scorecard’s structure—annual lagging measures and short‑cycle (45‑day) monitoring—and used the student culture survey as an example: the baseline of 3.48 and an annual target of 3.68. He emphasized the difference between lagging (end‑of‑year) and short‑cycle measures and said the district will review quarterly progress internally and report to the board.
Board members asked whether contingency plans will be created if short‑cycle measures are off track; Brock said the team may meet more frequently than every 45 days to decide whether to continue, change, or stop strategic actions. Speaker 6 described an early action tied to attendance: auditing how attendance is collected and reported at elementary schools to detect issues and to target interventions aimed at increasing the share of students attending 90% of school days.
There was consensus on the value of frequent review: "That's a proactive action," Brock said, describing the plan to adjust interventions within 45‑day cycles. The board will adopt final annual measures in August and begin monitoring when the new school year starts.
What happens next: the executive cabinet will finalize which annual goals to target in August and the district will begin 45‑day monitoring at the start of the school year.
