District prepares for KISA school‑improvement day and annual action‑plan update
Summary
District leadership will present an update at an upcoming KISA-required school improvement day in Lawrence and will use consultants to revise the district action plan for 2025–26; structured literacy and quality instruction remain the two focal areas.
District administrators briefed the board on their upcoming KISA (Kansas Integrated School Accountability) activities and the annual action‑plan update the district must submit.
Staff said representatives will attend a required school improvement day in Lawrence and provide a 10–15 minute update on progress, including work on a two‑part action plan focused on structured literacy and quality instruction. The district will use consultant feedback to revise the plan for 2025–26 and must submit updates within the statutory window; staff said the process includes verifying whether the district has met six‑month and one‑year targets before formal submission.
Administrators also noted that the state will add additional qualitative measures (assessment data, graduation rates, chronic absenteeism) to accreditation in future cycles; staff said they will report the new baseline calculations once guidance is released. The board received the update as informational; no formal action was taken at the meeting.
