Winter Lakes students demonstrate Stride; Title I funding and SBAC results reported
Summary
At its Oct. 18 meeting, Coquille School District 8 highlighted Winter Lakes Elementary students demonstrating an online curriculum, reported increased Title I funding and intervention plans to address COVID learning gaps, and reviewed SBAC participation and county rankings.
Coquille School District 8 showcased classroom work and laid out intervention plans and assessment outcomes at its Oct. 18 meeting.
At the start of the meeting two Winter Lakes Elementary fourth-graders, introduced in the minutes as Sharon Nelson and Betty McDaniel, demonstrated the Stride online curriculum used at the school. District staff then reviewed board goals to expand access to advanced courses and career-technical education, including dual-credit pathways that allow students to pursue an Associate of Arts transfer degree and CTE classes such as agriculture, CDL training, heavy equipment, wildland fire science and cosmetology.
Title I coordinator Tanya Sinko reported increased state funding for Title I programs. Staff described placements of instructional staff: Michel Crook is serving for the majority of the day at the Lincoln School of Early Learning (LSEL) with one group at Coquille Valley Elementary (CVE), and Danielle Eklund serves full time at CVE. The district said it is using targeted reading interventions (Hooked on Phonics/UFLI, Corrective Reading), early learning supports, leveled kindergarten reading blocks, and a summer program to address COVID-era learning gaps.
Assessment reporting indicated SBAC participation fell slightly below a 97% target but that achievement gaps for English-language learners and multiracial students are narrowing. The minutes state the district ranked first in the county for English language arts, second in math and third in science; 11th graders led county science scores.
Ending: Written program reports from each school and several supervisors were filed; the meeting minutes list multiple supervisors and program directors as having submitted reports but do not include full narratives for each written report.
