Staff reports modest assessment growth; district discusses substitute coverage and business-office roles
Summary
A staff presentation described adaptive math-assessment results showing roughly 15% growth and classroom performance near 50%; staff and board members discussed a full-time substitute position and clarifying business-office responsibilities.
District staff provided an update on student assessments and operational staffing during the listening session.
Speaker 7 described adaptive math assessments and said the tests adjust to students, with roughly 70% of items tailored to confidence level. "I turn our students to grow about 15%... and see that every one of our classrooms is performing about 50% across the school," Speaker 7 said.
Staff and board members discussed creating a full-time substitute position to cover classes and to address teacher absences. Speaker 7 said the role has helped cover subjects and the position could be used to fill gaps during the school year and over the summer as a trial to see if it is a good fit.
The conversation also flagged concerns in the business office, including the need for clearer separation of duties and processes. No formal personnel action was recorded; items were presented for discussion with follow-up planning noted.
