Board hears that students will present Future City project; presenter notes early-grade reading gains
Summary
A committee member introduced 12 students preparing to present a Future City competition project and the district presenter reported measurable reading accuracy improvements in second and third grades compared with earlier in the year.
A committee member introduced a group of students who will present a Future City competition project, saying the district has 12 students involved though some were at sports events and that he brought the opportunity to his son through an independent study.
The committee member said, "We have actually 12 students," and described finding the Future City competition and encouraging student participation. The meeting included a brief back-and-forth with the presenter to cue photos and the start of the facilities report.
Separately in the facilities update, the presenter said district reading data show improvement in early grades: "we're seeing, specifically in second and third grade that our reading our readers are more accurate than we were earlier in the year. You'll see that jump in second grade." The presenter did not provide the specific assessment instrument, the percentage change or the number of students represented in the remark.
The board did not vote or take formal action related to the Future City presentation or the reading data during the segments provided. Further details about the student presentation schedule and the district's assessment measures were not specified in the transcript.
