Board approves summer programs, sixth-grade basketball and MAP testing; first reading of Title I parent engagement policy
Summary
The Riverside School District board approved summer programs for 2026 (including adding fifth grade to a youth football camp), authorized sixth-grade basketball at the middle school and approved the NWEA MAP assessment for next year; the board also approved the first reading of policy 4130 (Title I Part A parent and family engagement).
The Riverside School District board moved through routine business items and approved several motions by voice vote.
A motion to approve sixth-grade basketball at Riverside Middle School was moved, seconded and carried. Later, the board approved the district's summer programs for 2026 and accepted an amendment to add fifth graders to a youth football camp; board members discussed timing and insurance deadlines that made prompt approval necessary.
The board also approved the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) for 2026–27. Staff explained MAP is administered three times a year (fall, winter and spring) to monitor reading and math progress during the school year.
Finally, the board approved the first reading of policy 4130 (Title I Part A parent and family engagement). A board member flagged wording in the draft that appeared to refer to a separate "policy" rather than a required "plan" for Title I schools; staff agreed to correct the wording prior to finalization.
No formal roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; motions were adopted by unanimous voice votes or carried as recorded by the chair.
