St. Helens board adopts STAR interim assessment to comply with SB 141
Summary
A district staff member outlined SB 141 requirements and the board voted to adopt the STAR interim assessment to be administered three times per year; staff will train personnel and present assessment data to the board.
The St. Helens School District board voted to adopt the STAR interim assessment as part of compliance with SB 141 (Oregon Education Accountability Act).
A district staff member introduced the item, explaining that the district must select an interim assessment, that it will be administered three times per year, and that staff will train personnel and present resulting data to the board. The staff member said the STAR assessment was already part of some planning and that the district would initiate it for the coming year.
A motion to adopt the STAR interim assessment (action item 10.1) was moved and seconded. The facilitator called for the vote; directors who responded recorded 'aye' and the facilitator announced the motion passed. Director Stroh (transcript spelling varies) and other directors recorded ayes on the vote.
Staff noted they have shared materials with the Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) and expect OSBA support during the district’s goal-setting retreat. Staff also said they will provide blueprint materials, the district report card, and suggested goals to the board to inform goal-setting and alignment with SB 141 performance growth targets.
The board set dates for upcoming meetings and a goal-setting retreat; staff said Kristen Miles from OSBA will assist with the retreat preparations.
The transcript does not include a full roll-call tally in named form for the STAR adoption vote; the facilitator declared the motion carried and the assessment adopted.
