Board member urges adding 'on-track graduation' metric to balanced scorecard
Summary
A board member recommended adding an 'on-track graduation' measure and early-warning interventions to identify at-risk students earlier; Dr. Bishop shared recent improvement figures and clarified which measures were being cited.
A board member urged the board to add an 'on-track graduation' metric to the district's balanced scorecard to provide an earlier signal of students at risk of not graduating. The board member recommended "some type of early warning and intervention system regarding the on track graduation" tied to attendance, behavior and credits to support individualized graduation plans and tutoring.
Dr. Bishop said the district's improvement this year was "about 1.5%" and provided figures indicating a four-year graduation rate rose from 88.1 in 2024 to 89.58 this year; speakers clarified that on-track graduation metrics and graduation rate are distinct measures. The board asked staff to consider where on-track measures fit within the five goals and to report periodically to the board.
