Superintendent reports high junior-year proficiency rates; board OKs hires and summer institute
Summary
Superintendent Mr. Grande announced recent junior-year proficiency results (ELA 97.8% vs. state 81.6%; math 70.1% vs. state 54.7), noted additional new hires and introduced a college application summer institute led by Joy Donaldson and Molly Cusick.
Superintendent Mr. Grande told the Clark Public Schools Board of Education that recent junior-year proficiency measures show above-state performance in English language arts and mathematics. "For English language arts, we have a 97.8 percentage rate as compared to the state's 81.6, and for mathematics, 70.1% compared to the state's 54.7," he said.
Mr. Grande also announced a series of additional new hires and thanked the personnel committee and administrative team for their work on staffing. He described approval on the agenda of a college application summer institute that will be taught next week by Joy Donaldson (English component) and Molly Cusick (school counseling component).
The superintendent read a message from Mr. Morrison, the newly appointed K–12 content area supervisor, who said he was honored to accept the position and expressed plans to support district-wide curriculum work. The board approved the personnel and curriculum items by roll call during the meeting.
No detailed budgetary figures for the hires or the institute were provided in the transcript; the superintendent directed attendees to the district website for slide materials with additional test-result detail and said the curriculum committee would review results in August.
