Board debates strategic-plan targets, keeps 5% growth goal under review
Summary
Board reviewed draft strategic-plan goals that set 5% proficiency growth targets and a 75% AIMSwebPlus goal for K–2; members supported multi‑year goals and asked staff for more detailed, grade‑level data before adopting final language.
Staff presented the district’s draft strategic plan goals for the 2026‑27 school year, including a district target of 5% proficiency growth on summative assessments (PSAT/SAT/GSA) and a 75% AIMSwebPlus proficiency target in K–2 reading and math. Board members discussed whether 5% is ambitious enough and how to hold buildings and teachers accountable; staff emphasized the role of department chairs, PLCs and early-literacy coaches in monitoring progress.
The presentation included county-level and grade-level growth measures and subgroup data. A staff member summarized key points: "We have to have some accountability and expectations, consistent expectations," the presenter said, and asked board members for feedback on whether to keep or stretch the 5% target. The board agreed to refine the wording and return the strategic goals for approval at a subsequent meeting, and staff committed to providing embargoed score details once they are publicly available.
