Summary

Superintendent Emily reported the district earned ELL re-credentialing, described new curriculum and staff retention, and cited assessment claims that 95% of students meet state proficiency in reading and math and subgroups performing at about 80% — claims the board accepted as superintendent-reported data.

At the Dec. 18 meeting Superintendent Emily summarized recent district work: attendance at the ELL national conference with staff and students that culminated in re-credentialing, adoption of a new math curriculum, and efforts to strengthen staff culture and continuous-improvement processes.

"We adopted a new math curriculum...we focused on strengthening our staff's crew culture, and have had 100% classroom teacher retention," Emily said, highlighting staff stability. She also reported assessment results: "95 percent of our students meeting state proficiency in both reading and math," and said subgroup performance was "25 percentage points higher than state average with 80% proficiency."

Board members and a newer member praised teachers and volunteers for supporting students during recent events and staff absences. The superintendent said district activities — concerts, conferences, and community ceremonies — illustrate a broader focus on culture, character and high-quality work that the board's goals aim to reinforce.
