Sublette USD reports test-score gains, discusses KESA accreditation and AI classroom use
Summary
Curriculum staff told the board they are working on KESA accreditation, exploring AI-driven quiz tools, and reported assessment gains: DIBBELS 100% increase among students (with some still below grade level), Star Reading up 73%, and iReady up 76% in reading and 84% in math.
Curriculum directors and principals updated the board Jan. 13 on accreditation work and assessment data. Staff said the district continues KESA-related work and used in-service sessions to gather teacher input. Presenters noted continued conversations about acceptable AI use in classrooms and a potential Google-based program called Brisk that creates quizzes using AI aligned to Kansas State Standards.
Assessment measures presented to the board showed gains in several diagnostics. The minutes report DIBBELS data indicating 100% of students who were tested improved their scores, though some students remain below grade level. Star Reading scores increased for 73% of students; iReady results showed a 76% increase in reading and an 84% increase in math. Curriculum staff said they are compiling beginning- and mid-year data to identify remaining gaps.
Principals also described upcoming student events and outreach: a Miss Kansas presentation, a spelling bee, and hospital tours for middle school students, and noted ongoing efforts to develop relationships between students and the SRO.
Board members did not take action on curriculum matters at the Jan. 13 meeting but heard the reports as part of regular business.
