Board adopts School Improvement Plan with measurable FastBridge targets for 2026–27
Summary
Lowpoint-Washburn board approved a School Improvement Plan aiming to raise 6th–8th grade FastBridge ELA and Math scores to at least the 55th national percentile by Spring 2027, with a stated 15% improvement target and commitments to pacing guides, intervention frameworks, and family engagement.
The board unanimously approved a School Improvement Plan proposing specific, measurable goals for the 2026–2027 school year. The plan sets two primary targets: by Spring 2027, the percentage of 6th–8th graders scoring at or above the 55th national percentile on FastBridge ELA will increase by at least 15%, and the percentage scoring at or above the 55th national percentile on FastBridge Math will increase by 15%.
The plan also directs staff to develop essential learning standards and pacing guides for each grade and subject, expand the K–12 intervention framework, improve vertical alignment across grade levels, and strengthen family engagement. President Monica Beltramea called for a motion to approve the plan; the motion (Baugh; second Youngman) carried on a recorded vote with the board members present voting yes.
Board discussion and the minutes indicate the plan is tied to ongoing curricular work noted elsewhere in the meeting, including staff collaboration with Illustrative Math and partnership conversations with neighboring Roanoke-Benson.
