Summary

Superintendent Dr. Wilcox and building principals recognized dozens of staff and community nominees with District Champion and positive descriptive praise awards, and principals presented a consolidated set of school improvement tactics focused on equitable access, I-Ready growth, PBIS, social-emotional learning and teacher retention.

Superintendent Dr. Wilcox and building principals used the meeting to recognize staff, students and community members nominated for Positive Descriptive Praise (PDP) and the new District Champion Award. Nominations read aloud honored a wide range of employees and volunteers across schools, including special education coordinators, food-service staff, classroom teachers and parent volunteers.

Dr. Wilcox asked principals to read PDPs from each building and invited recipients for photos. Recipients included Jenny Stanfield (middle school special education coordinator), Heather Eichmeier (Dean of Students and sixth-grade administrator), Monica Jankovic (food-service staff), Stephanie Schnettler (health clerk), and dozens of other teachers, paraprofessionals and parent volunteers acknowledged during the ceremony.

Following the recognitions, principals presented a consolidated approach to school improvement plans. The cross-district priorities presented included equitable access to rigorous curriculum, implementation of I-Ready for diagnostics and growth, reducing numbers of students requiring tier 2 and tier 3 interventions, continued use of PBIS and conscious discipline, social-emotional learning with Second Step, and strategies for recruitment and retention. Building-level measures cited included increases in ELA and math proficiency, improved 5Essentials survey results and a house system pilot at Kenneth Murphy.

Provenance: PDP readings and District Champion awards (SEG 067'002) and the consolidated school improvement plan presentations by principals (SEG 703'022).
