Superintendent highlights attendance, interventions and ELA pilot in strategic-plan update
Summary
The Superintendent updated the board on strategic-plan progress—spotlighting attendance goals, tier-2 academic interventions aligned across elementary schools, and two ELA pilots at the high school to inform a future adoption.
During the superintendent's report the Superintendent framed two goals in the district strategic plan, saying she would "make my report pretty quick" before highlighting curriculum, instruction and assessment work across schools. She praised Hillcrest for completing a "100% impact aid return form," and described instructional reviews that included visits to classrooms, staff and students to assess alignment across the system.
The Superintendent emphasized attendance as a key priority, noting post-COVID efforts to boost student engagement and that schools are looking at patterns such as higher attendance on specific days ("it was Valentine's Day"). She described tier-2 intervention supports and said the district has adjusted schedules so elementary schools have aligned minutes for ELA and math. On secondary curriculum, she said the district is piloting two ELA programs at the high school with budget set aside and a committee will review pilot results in spring before considering full adoption.
