Monticello board hears new Iowa requirement for personalized K–6 reading and math plans
Summary
Presenters Shannon Kehoe and Todd Werner told the Monticello Community School District board that new Iowa legislation requires personalized reading and math plans for K–6 students who score below proficiency on two consecutive assessments; plans emphasize targeted interventions, biweekly MAP monitoring, and parent involvement.
The Monticello Community School District Board of Education on Aug. 13 heard a presentation on new Iowa legislation requiring personalized reading and math plans for K–6 students who score below proficiency on two consecutive assessments.
Shannon Kehoe, a district presenter, said the plans will "include targeted interventions, frequent progress monitoring using MAP screeners every two weeks, and active parent/guardian involvement." Todd Werner, who co-presented, described middle-school adaptations such as Walk to Read, Walk to Math and WIN ("What I Need") time to provide targeted support for students above elementary grade levels.
The presenters said some of the supports — including small-group interventions and progress checks — already exist in the district and will be aligned with the new state requirement. Kehoe and Werner emphasized parent engagement as a required component of the plans and described regular progress updates as part of implementation.
No formal board action on the personalized plans was recorded at the special meeting; the presentation was informational. Board members heard the overview as part of a broader set of department updates and policy items on the agenda.
