Board presses district on coaching realignment, data use and staffing gaps ahead of school start
Summary
Board members asked about the coaching realignment, the data-management role and current staffing; district leaders said the realignment is in process, instructional coaches will stay at home schools while taking on extra support duties, the data coordinator aggregates assessment data, and vacancies have fallen to about 18.
Board members pressed for specifics on coaching roles, the district's data work and current vacancy counts as the school year begins. Deputy Superintendent Ian Hillman said the coaching realignment "is in process now," and clarified that academic coaches will remain based at their home schools while taking on responsibilities to help schools that lack full-time coaches.
On data, Hillman described the data management coordinator as aggregating WVGSA, SAT, PSAT and elementary assessment results and distributing those analyses to principals, academic coaches and coordinators. On staffing he said the district recently had roughly 70–75 new teachers and that vacancies had decreased to about 18 as of last week. Board members requested more detailed breakdowns by school and grade level to support data-informed decisions.
