District unveils three-year instructional plan, delays TCAP testing by one week
Summary
District instructional staff presented a three-year plan aligned to the state's TISA report with a goal of 70% of third graders reading on grade level by 2029 and a renewed focus on middle-school math; TCAP testing was moved to April 20–29 to accommodate recent weather disruptions.
District instructional staff told the board the state is moving to requirements aligned to the TISA report and the district is shifting from a one-year to a three-year plan.
"One of our goals would be all students reading or 70 percent of our students reading on grade level in third grade," speaker 4 said, noting the district set a multi-year target to reach that goal by 2029. Staff also described a renewed focus on middle-school math after a decline in performance and plans for collaborative planning and instructional coaching.
To accommodate missed days earlier in the year, the district pushed TCAP testing back by a week; staff outlined a testing window beginning April 20 and ending April 29, with specifics for grade bands and subject scheduling.
What happens next: The district said it will finish the three-year plan by the March 31 deadline and expects to present budget priorities in May and final budget approval in June.
