Board hears draft "Ignite the Path" plan with numeric proficiency goals through 2028
Summary
A consultant presented a draft three‑year strategic plan focusing on reading, math, student wellness and college/career readiness with measurable targets such as raising elementary ELA proficiency from 36% to 50% by 2028; the board and superintendent discussed implementation, monitoring and resource alignment.
The Guadalupe School District heard a draft strategic plan Dec. 17 that sets specific numeric targets and monitoring steps to guide instruction and improvement over three years.
Stephanie Wykka, director of professional learning and the district's consultant from Everest Analytics, walked the board through four priority goal areas — reading, math, student wellness and college and career readiness — and the strategies that will support each goal. "By 2028, the percentage of students in grades 3 through 8 demonstrating grade level proficiency in English language will increase from 36% to 50%," Wykka said, presenting the document's measurable outcome for reading. For math she identified a goal of lifting proficiency from 13% to 30% by 2028.
Wykka said the plan is intended to be implemented with routine monitoring: monthly implementation monitoring reports, PLC cycles to analyze formative data, and coaching to support fidelity of high-quality instructional materials. The presentation named the Martinez-Yazzie student-group monitoring process and state assessments (AMIRA, NWEA MAP, I‑Ready) as evidence sources to track progress.
Superintendent Dr. Chanel Segura emphasized local accountability and partnership with families and staff, saying the numerical goals are ambitious but necessary. "These are ambitious goals," Segura told the board, adding that leadership will work with each school to adapt the plan to site needs and to ensure funding and staffing are aligned with priorities.
Board members praised the focus and asked for clarity on next steps. One member asked whether the draft would come back for formal adoption; administrators said the draft will be updated with board feedback before a planned finalization at the board meeting on Jan. 14. The district will roll out associated professional learning and begin regular progress monitoring once the plan is launched with staff.
