District outlines $3M+ integrated-programs spending plan, sets SMART goals for student success
Summary
District presenters told the board the integrated programs package totals about $3 million and funds high-school success, a Student Investment Account and early interventions; presenters reported gains on ninth-grade on-track metrics and set stretch targets for proficiency and graduation.
At the meeting the district reviewed its integrated programs annual report and how more than $3 million in state funds are used across three primary goals: culture/climate (care and belonging), academic growth (using MAP Growth and other measures), and bridging college and career pathways (CTE and internships).
The presenter (speaker 11) said SIA funding is roughly $600,000 —to $700,000 and the remaining portion of the integrated programs package is roughly $2.45 million; early intervention funding of about $7,000 was also noted. The district reported results against four required state measures: ninth graders on track to graduate (89.3% this past year, up from earlier years), third-grade reading (39.9%, short of a 40% stretch goal but meeting the regular goal), and regular attenders (72.8% versus a 67% goal). Staff highlighted new CTE equipment purchases, increased family engagement events, and an expansion of paid internships and a college-and-career counseling liaison supported by the Cottage Grove Community Foundation.
Board members asked clarifying questions about measurement methods (MAP Growth versus state assessments), acronyms and how goals were set. The presenter said the district will keep analyzing MAP Growth data and refine SMART goals; the board accepted the presentation and encouraged continued monitoring of progress and reporting.
