Summary

District staff presented 2023–24 climate, culture and academic trend data, highlighting PBIS implementation, gaps between parent and student views on homework, steady ELA and mixed math/PSAT trends, and AP participation figures.

Presenter (speaker 2) opened the meeting’s substantive work by walking trustees through the district’s 2023–24 climate and culture survey results alongside selected academic indicators, emphasizing that the presentation focused mostly on high‑school data.

"What I would like to do is present data, trend data, on how's the district doing. The data that I'm going to share focuses on climate and culture as well as academic data, for the 2324 school year," the presenter said. The presenter said the district is prioritizing MTSS implementation and PBIS (positive behavioral intervention supports) to strengthen both academic and behavioral supports.

The presentation called out a persistent gap between student and family responses on homework helpfulness—students reporting about 60.7% and families 85.4% agreeing that homework helps learning—and noted rising indicators of student belonging and staff accessibility. On academic measures the presenter said the district has seen continued upward momentum in ELA in some grades, a slight dip in certain math scores and a bounce in PSAT math after a 2023 high point.

The presenter also summarized AP participation, reporting district AP success markers and scholars. The board asked for follow‑up analysis on participation and on gaps between student and family perceptions. The presentation materials were provided to trustees and posted for public review.
