District reports: IDEA and ESSA plans submitted; parent attendance, testing, vehicle planning discussed
Summary
Administrators told the West Point Board that the district completed and submitted its IDEA and ESSA plans, reported parent‑teacher conference attendance rates (Elementary 92%, MS 86.5%, HS 74%), outlined testing updates, and noted a planned auction of surplus equipment as part of long‑range vehicle planning.
District administrators reported multiple operational updates at the Oct. 13 West Point Public Schools Board meeting.
According to the administrative reports, the district’s IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) plans, the High Ability Learner report, and submissions for Special Education indicators 12 and 13 have been completed and filed. The district shared an Indicator 8 parent survey with families and reported that Special Education staff are undergoing IEP and paperwork training; it also noted that ESU 2 will provide additional early childhood, SPED and behavior supports. The Rule 11 report and the Preschool Program Report were filed.
Administrators provided several data points about family engagement and testing: parent‑teacher conference attendance by level was reported as Elementary 92 percent, Middle School 86.5 percent, and High School 74 percent. The cognitive assessment for rural schools (CARS) was reported for grades 4–8; Mr. Riley presented MAPS testing data for grades 9–11. The transcript does not provide numerical testing results.
Superintendent Weddle told the board the district is pursuing long‑range vehicle planning and will hold a local auction of old school equipment to be sold “as is.” He congratulated Mr. Gross on receiving the Lozier LIGHTS Outstanding Principal Award, noted a recent Nebraska Department of Education school safety review, identified himself as the district’s McKinney‑Vento liaison, and said he met with Rebuild Together about possible Industrial Tech class construction projects. Superintendent Weddle also reported that the P2T board approved a 2025–26 budget for a referenced program or activity.
The board did not take formal action on these reports during the meeting; staff will continue implementation and follow up as needed.
