Board highlights student achievements and reports drop in 3rd‑grade literacy referrals
Summary
The board recognized student athletic and STEM achievements and announced that the number of 3rd graders not meeting the 3rd Grade Literacy Act cut score fell from 78 (11%) to 39 (7%) this year, which the superintendent described as significant improvement.
The board recognized scholarship and competition winners: a Delta Kappa Gamma teacher scholarship recipient (Vanessa Cook), Weaver Elementary's Green Power team that placed 14th nationally, three individual state track champions and Aiden Lloyd as the RMC Foundation Martha Vandervoort Memorial Scholar.
In the superintendent's report, district leaders highlighted graduation events and capital improvements and reported progress under the 3rd Grade Literacy Act: the number of third graders who did not make the cut score decreased from 78 (about 11% last year) to 39 (about 7%) this year. The superintendent said the improvement reflects coordinated effort across early grades but noted cohort differences warrant careful interpretation.
