District plans stronger MTSS, dedicated intervention time and extra Spanish literacy staffing for grades 3–5
Summary
The board heard that the district will strengthen its MTSS process for grades 3–5, reduce pull-outs by coordinating specialists, dedicate intervention time to keep students in core instruction, and hire another teacher to deliver Spanish Literacy for third grade and EL support.
Assistant Principal Jeff Taylor described plans to strengthen the district’s multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) for grades 3–5, with a more structured tracking process for interventions and dedicated intervention time that minimizes students missing core instruction. He said the district will better coordinate specialists (EL, LRC, Speech, EGC, Title I) to reduce pull-outs and increase inclusion.
Mr. Taylor also reported the district plans to hire an additional teacher to deliver Spanish Literacy instruction for third grade and to support English learners in grades 3–5. Board discussion praised the approach to keep students in core instruction and emphasized the need for professional development to ensure consistent intervention across classrooms. The work session did not include a formal hiring action; the report was for planning and budgeting purposes.
