Superintendent highlights mixed gains in county assessments as board approves materials and schedules data meetings
Summary
The superintendent reported several middle-grade gains above state averages and described next steps for data meetings; the board approved textbook adoptions and scheduled follow-up on purchases and summer data work.
The superintendent reported academic assessment results showing several middle-grades outperformed state averages while noting mixed results elsewhere and ongoing work.
Presenters said grade 6 math in the district scored substantially above the state average and several middle-school cohorts finished five to 11 points higher than statewide peers. Elementary grades had a mix of small gaps to address, and the high school showed some strong individual SAT results alongside lower averages in other classes. The superintendent said staff will hold full-day data meetings with principals to set plans for next year and will provide calendars for summer training and coverage.
Separately, the board adopted recommended textbooks (health, wellness, drivers education, personal finance and music) and approved purchase of Apple iPads for Hampshire High School. Staff emphasized the adoption is a formal selection and that the district will return with purchase details for the board’s review.
The board adjourned at 8:31 p.m.
