Board refines instructional workgroup year: step-backs, tech plan and special-education timing
Summary
Board members reviewed a draft 2026-27 Instruction Work Group schedule aligned to the new Excellence Together strategic plan; members asked to add special education earlier, requested cohort and culture/climate data, and approved adding a public forum on facilities in January.
Staff presented a draft cadence for the 2026-27 Instruction Work Group designed to align meetings to the district's Excellence Together strategic plan. The proposal includes step-back data reviews in August and February (end-of-year and midyear), a special public forum on facilities in January and topic-focused months for technology, mental health, and curriculum updates.
Board members suggested moving special education coverage earlier in the year and asked staff to include cohort/longitudinal data, teacher and staff culture/climate indicators and updates on wireless-device policy implementation. Student representative Shapiro asked how mental-health and well-being will be tracked from October through May; staff said they will evaluate whether data points and timing can be aligned to produce more actionable updates. Several members also asked for transportation and class-size context at appropriate meetings.
