Board approves Career Ladder participation and routine consent items including assessment contract
Summary
Board approved district participation in the state Career Ladder program for 2026–27 and approved consent-agenda items, including a Renaissance assessment agreement; administration reported anticipated staff participation and compensation figures.
The Wright City R-II Board approved participation in the state Career Ladder program for 2026–27 and adopted the consent agenda, which included a Renaissance assessment agreement (Star assessments).
Mrs. Schmicky reviewed the Career Ladder program: about 78 staff were on target to complete required hours this year out of 131 eligible participants. The program leverages state funds and district compensation; the transcript records anticipated additional compensation figures (transcript lists $376,837.50 as additional compensation with a district cost figure of $181,837.50). Administration recommended continued participation but cautioned that state funding levels may change next year.
On the consent agenda, the board approved Item G (the Renaissance reading/math assessment agreement). The consent motion and approval were recorded as carried 7–0.
Board members asked questions about attendance, calendar conflicts for events and next steps for surveying and parent contact; administrators noted steps already implemented to increase participation and pledged to return with summaries at the June 9 workshop.
