Louisburg highlights middle‑school intervention pilot after FastBridge gains
Summary
Tiffany Mucil reported that 27 of 32 students who received targeted interventions raised their FastBridge scores this semester; the board described the role as a district priority identified in the needs assessment and discussed referral and parental‑consent procedures.
At the May 11 school board meeting, district staff presented results from a middle‑school intervention pilot intended to support students needing additional reading and math help.
Tiffany Mucil, the middle‑school interventionist, said the program is referral‑based and that 27 of 32 students who attended the intervention classes raised their FastBridge scores during the semester. "These are also students who are asked to go to a second class for the day in a subject that is challenging for them," Mucil said, noting that the work included curriculum tailored to test scores and relationship building with students.
The board discussed the logistics: seats in the intervention classes are limited (six students in the example model), placement depends on testing and teacher referral, and families may decline placement because participation can require giving up an elective. Administrators said staffing changes created capacity for a dedicated interventionist and described the position as a top needs‑assessment priority for the middle school.
Next steps: staff will continue to use assessment data to identify students, coordinate parent communications, and monitor outcomes; the district will consider capacity and referral criteria as it finalizes schedules for incoming students.
