Summary
The board heard a K-12 mathematics program review highlighting assessment alignment, instructional supports and interventions; Wilson Middle School exited ATSI status while the high school will enter TSI for two subgroups, with plans for corrective plans to return in summer.
The Carlisle Area School District—s education committee presented a detailed review of the K-12 mathematics program, including assessments used to monitor student progress and program alignment.
Committee chair Anne summarized a presentation prepared by the math department and district leaders that used a "data iceberg" visual to show state testing at the surface and internal assessments (Acadience, spring math, common assessments) beneath the surface. The review identified the need for curriculum and assessment alignment, instructional time adjustments, enhanced student supports and staff development.
Administrators reported that Wilson Middle School has exited Additional Targeted Support and Intervention (ATSI) status after three years due to a strong improvement plan. The high school will enter Targeted Support and Intervention (TSI) status because two subgroups —students with disabilities and English learners—are not meeting required metrics; administrators said they will return to the board in the summer with corrective plans for the high school.
Board members praised the math department—s work and asked staff to continue refining plans for interventions and family engagement.
