District plans external training; transcript shows inconsistent spelling of trainer’s name

La Crosse Board of Education Workshop · April 6, 2026

Summary

Staff described plans to bring a national researcher/trainer (transcript lists both "Mario Acosta" and "Mario Costa") to support standards-based grading and curriculum work; board members supported widening access to the training.

Staff told the board they plan to bring a national researcher and trainer to help with standards-based grading and curriculum planning next school year. The presenter described the trainer as a popular speaker who "elevates the understanding about standards based teaching and learning," and said the visit would be part of ongoing professional development and curriculum planning.

Transcript references to the trainer show inconsistent spelling ("Mario Acosta" in some places and "Mario Costa" in others). The board welcomed the opportunity to expose more staff to the research and suggested staff notify board members when the visit is confirmed. A staff member said: "We'll do" (regarding sending notice) and the group agreed to circulate details when available.
