Principals present 2024–25 student achievement trends; board outlines next steps
Summary
At a March 26, 2025 study session, St. Helena Unified school principals presented 2024–25 assessment data and the Governing Board reviewed next steps including goal language, expanded Tier 2/3 supports, and strategies to boost engagement and academic motivation.
At a Governing Board study session on March 26, 2025, principals from St. Helena Unified school sites presented student assessment data and trends for the 2024–2025 school year. President Laura Symon opened the session at 12:32 PM and the board heard an overview of assessment purposes, success criteria, and school-site results.
The presentation covered multiple assessment types and emphasized both district-level goals and site-level variations. According to the meeting record, “The Governing Board received a presentation from each school site principal regarding student data and trends for the 2024-2025 school year.” The board concluded the discussion with a set of next steps: work with the administrative team to determine goal language; identify actions to roll forward, eliminate, or adjust; maintain access/advisory/tiered supports; evaluate additional Tier 2 and 3 supports; address student and family engagement and culture; and determine how to measure and improve academic motivation and boredom.
Board members and the presenters focused on actionable follow-ups rather than final decisions. The record does not name individual principals who presented; the transcript lists presenters only as school-site principals. District staff were directed to take the listed next steps and refine goal language with administrators, per the study-session summary. The board did not take a formal policy vote on any of the recommendations during this session.
What happens next: the district will work with its administrative team to translate the session’s recommendations into goal language and implementation steps to report back to the board at a future meeting.
