Superintendent Erfourth reported the Middle School was designated for Comprehensive Support and Improvement based on special‑education subgroup outcomes; district will work with a state partner and Northwest Education Services on a targeted improvement plan.

He said Principal Byland, Cindy Hunt of Northwest Education Services and the superintendent will work with a state partner on quarterly check‑ins and targeted supports.
