Board hears mixed grade-level trends; J‑term cited as an effective recovery option
Summary
Administrators showed passing-rate snapshots: 9th-grade passing fell to 58 of 77 (75.3%), seniors at 91%; presenters said J-term previously produced a 28–29% schoolwide gain and will be used to help students who are behind.
Administrators presented the most recent district academic data and described targeted interventions for students who are not passing multiple classes. Tanner walked the board through a screenshot of the dashboard and reported that, as of the data pull on Oct. 14, 9th-grade passing was 58 of 77 (75.3%), 11th grade was 76.2% and the senior class was at 91%. He cautioned the board that month-to-month snapshots will ebb and flow and emphasized MTSS interventions and teacher power hours for students at risk.
Tanner and other staff pointed to the district's J-term as a high-leverage tool: "We jumped by about 28 or 29% overall as a school" after the first J-term, he said, and administrators recommended using targeted J-term offerings and teacher coaching to address lagging skills that affect state-assessment performance. Board members asked for longitudinal trend reports and a work session showing the Oregon Data Suite (Tigers on Track) to better understand student-level drivers of the metrics.
