MB Ward principal outlines goals after gains in subgroup performance
Summary
MB Ward principal Miss Lusher reported demographic and KSA results, described strategies (station teaching, RTI/MTSS), and set goals to reach higher indicator status and reduce novice rates among special education students.
Miss Lusher, principal of M&B Ward, presented the school's improvement plan and data to the board.
She said MB Ward has 450 students (199 female, 251 male), about 108 students qualifying for special education (roughly 24% of enrollment) and roughly 53% of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. The school maintained a 'green' KSA status and reported subgroup gains in reading and math; Miss Lusher described interventions—station teaching, push-in support from interventionists, data cards and a revisited RTI/MTSS plan—aimed at reducing novice rates and increasing proficiency. She stated the school's goal is to reach a higher 'blue' indicator status and outlined measurable targets for third through fifth grades.
Board members applauded the school's work; no formal board action was required beyond receiving the report.
