Lewis Central staff outline district scoreboard, literacy and behavior targets
Summary
District staff presented a draft strategic plan and a data-monitoring 'scoreboard' that sets a goal of raising literacy proficiency and reducing major behavior referrals, and described how the District Leadership Team will monitor progress and support Building Leadership Teams.
District curriculum leadership presented a progress report and an initial draft of a public-facing strategic plan on June 15, outlining measurable goals and a monitoring system staff call the district 'scoreboard.'
The presentation described how the board-selected priorities (literacy and student behavior) have been translated into goal statements and lead-and-lag measures the District Leadership Team (DT) will use for quarterly monitoring. The presenter said the district’s K–8 fast-literacy baseline is about 63% and noted a target of 80% proficiency; in the presentation that figure was discussed twice, with a near-term reference to 2029 and the strategic-plan draft text indicating a target horizon of May 2031 for the five-year goal.
On behavior, staff reported a district total of 3,151 major referrals and proposed a goal to reduce major referrals by 10% (to about 2,836). Staff described the DT as a mix of administrators and teacher leaders who will meet monthly, surface lead measures, and provide feedback loops to building leadership teams. Quarterly board updates were promised as DT analyzes implementation data.
Board members asked clarifying questions about DT meeting cadence, how priorities are disseminated to Building Leadership Teams, and whether handbook changes (for discipline and referrals) would interact with the referral-reduction target; staff said building-level data will clarify the effects of policy changes and promised to report back quarterly.
Staff also previewed a short, community-facing strategic plan web landing page with priority areas and a timeline for board discussion and a planned July vote on the final plan.
